Looking for Table Saw and/or Sanding jig for segmenting...

[Timbo]

With the selling season coming to an end for me, I plan to use the end of December and the month of January to do some retooling. I'm looking to build a good jig for segmenting and was wondering if anyone had a design they're willing to share. My table saw is pretty accurate, and with the right blade it leaves a "glueable" edge. I can also turn my saw into a sanding platform by substituting a 10" sanding plate in place of the blade. I just need a good jig for setting angles, setting cut length, safely holding the blank, and/or advancing into sanding disk. I did not see anything in the Library that fit the bill. Thanks.

I made this sled for cutting smsll parts, it's not hard and you can use up the scrap wood in your shop:biggrin:

I made one of these jigs for doing Celtic Knot segments. It could easily be modified to support multiple angles. Using the 1/4-20 threaded rod allows you to make very accurate size segments.
