Thank you, I've recently gotten a tablesaw and been watching how to make sleds but couldn't find how to determine the length for each piece, now I know.
Many thanks Albert for another interesting video. I haven't tried segmented turning yet but I certainly hope to have a go at it later on this year. I will be referring back to this upload when it happens. Coincidentally the wood turning club to which I belong has a competition every month and this time it's for a segmented piece. I know some of my friends are working hard on pieces as its their first attempt at segmenting but I don't yet have the proper equipment such as a table saw so I can sit back and relax during the next meeting of the club. Best wishes, Alan.
Good deal my friend. glad you found this useful. don't forget if you have a miter saw or a miter slide on your table saw you can get the angles. just make a ring or half a ring out of cheap wood and test your angles once they are good that go to the real stuff
I'm a new woodworker. I want to make a 36" round dining table with a segmented base (24" diameter). Can I use this method to determine the angles and each segment length? I apologize for any incorrect terms, I'm still learning.
Interesting video, Albert It looks so pretty easy, the segment calculation. I think in German for me is not a good website to segment calculation. So I will probably record it on paper and then measure my segments individually. -D
Are you correcting me or explaining your method?Simple formula is. .............. Diameter of ring x pie (3.14) / segment amount. EXAMPLE assuming you want an 8" ring8"x 3.14= 25.12 (that answer is length of board needed) 25.12"/8= 3.14"Angles are 360/number of segments/2PS the results are correct but that is to the high points of the ring so to correct that if I want an 8" 8 side ring I add 1/2" to the overall of the ring making it 8 1/2"x3.14/8=3.3365 or 3 3/8" (close enough) the more segments you have the less you add to the overall length.This is the method I use but I am sure any method can be confusing to many people right?
Hello, first of all congratulations for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm a drummer and I really want to do my next drums. would be in the measures of 8,10,12,14,16,20 and I wanted to know if I can use his formula and get the final result equal to yours. I want to do with 20 segments so I do not lose much wood. So is it just me to do the account that taught and will work?
Excelente video. Me gustaría saber si la guia que utiliza para medir el ángulo tiene algún nombre? Si esta disponible en el mercado?o Si usted la Fabricio?
Why don't you do it the simple way? Just draw a circle the size you want and mark out the amount of segments you want then all you got to do is measure your marks. And that gives you your angle to cut to.
Thank you my friend none taken. It's really not as hard to do as it is to explain LOL I must admit after watching the video again I even confused myself LOL
yuval lahav WOW it's nice to know I have gained a new language you should learn it as well it is fun. now what can I translate for you? is it diameter +1/8" per inch of run?I will try to be better at expressing my verbal explanations.Take care
problem is not translation, it's over thinking I get lost at... if and when I'll start segmenting, I'll do it by the eye method, and when that won't work I'll learn the math, but I do need some real life need to push me to learn new stuff, especially mathenatical formula... :)

Hi Al,
Thanks for the help!
I still don't have the wood to get started out on a segmented piece but this video helps a lot!

Yes just check it before glueing
This is just what works well for me.
Thank you for watching and commenting my friend glad it works for you as well.
Great information Albert, and well explained as well mate.
Take care
Mike
Mike Waldt Thank you Mike as always for the nice comment and your everlasting support.........Take care.....Albert

Günter Schöne Thanks Gunter......Good deal and easy to remember...........Take care my friend
Good Job. I get it. easy to figure
Great thank you. I think I managed TO CONFUSE A FEW ALONG THE WAY. glad YOU GOT IT lol
To find cut length
8.0 diameter 8 segments
360 degrees / 8 segments = 45 degrees
45 degrees / 2 = 22.5 degrees
22.5 degrees tangent = .4142
8.0 diameter / 2 = 4.00 radius
4.0 radius x .4142 tangent = 1.6568 ( side opposite )
1.6568 ( side opposite ) x 2 = cut length
cut length 3.3137 or 3 5/16
OR TANGENT X DIAMENTER == CUT LENGTH

To make it simple. Tangent x Diameter = length..
But what angle are you cutting?
Excelente video. Me gustaría saber si la guia que utiliza para medir el ángulo tiene algún nombre? Si esta disponible en el mercado?o Si usted la Fabricio?
Olá Rebel Turner gostei muito deste jig, tem algum vídeo ensinando como construí-lo?
Tangent of the angle times the radius of the circle times two! That's all you need to know.
Why don't you do it the simple way? Just draw a circle the size you want and mark out the amount of segments you want then all you got to do is measure your marks. And that gives you your angle to cut to.
This makes absolutely no sense to me. No disrespect.
Thank you my friend none taken. It's really not as hard to do as it is to explain LOL I must admit after watching the video again I even confused myself LOL
That's too much for my head, I'll just ask you lol...
Lenny M LOL OK if you insist but I might charge you
LMAO
You have that clock mark it from 12 to 6 and from 3 to 9 and keep up until you have what you are looking for.
You lost me once you started talking Japanese... ;)
