Segment Cutting Sled

Very nice design with great features. I especially like the indexing system using an eyebolt.

Well thought out, minimal complexity and effective
the results make a undisputed confirmation of that.

what do you use to set the angles???

Nice design. I really like the indexing pin’s.

Awesome sled! I really need to build one of these. Do you happen to have any plans drawn up?

”what do you use to set the angles???”

I set the desired angle on a General digital bevel, then used a marking knife to strike a line on a piece of scrap stock. I eyeballed the angle on the sled’s fence, and started trimming the end of the stock, adjusting the fence until I got the cut parallel to the marking knife line.

From there, I cut enough segments for a half ring, taped them together, checked the ends with a straightedge, and made adjustments as necessary to the fence. When I got the two ends of the half ring straight, I cut a full ring, taped and checked them and made any further adjustments to close gaps. When I was happy with them, I glued up the samples you see if the 5th picture.

I went through a lot of scrap (salvaged flooring), but I think it was worth it.

”Do you happen to have any plans drawn up?”

Sorry … no plans. I just watched the video that cajunpen mentioned in his post last week (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itRBrcpMFVE ).

That is a fantastic sled/jig!!!
Love the adjustability & indexing.

I think you need to make another one….
For me!!! ;^)

Looking forward to seeing the first, well all of your projects from this….

Nice, i tried using my miter saw to cut segments to try my first segmented bowl, after cutting 2 sets at different angles and having gaps i gave up wasting wood, i need one of those if i ever buy a new table saw, my ryobi sucks.

Nice job on it!
