• Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.

Hello my name is Wally Hammond. I am just getting back into turning. I have recently purhased the software and I am struggling with the abgles it says to cut segments at, I still end up with gaps. Can anyone help with advise as to why this is? Thank you in advance.
 
First - Welcome to WTP forums. I have been using the software for over 10 years and I can say measurements are correct.

What type of set up are you using to cut your segments?

Jerry Bennet Seg-Easy method is one of the popular ways to cut segments.
- Here is a link to making a basic wedgie sled

Another link to his videos on his method and its possibilities.

There are a lot of factors than can cause a segmented ring to end up with gaps during construction.
- Your stock you are cutting the segments from needs to have parallel sides.
- keep the fence clear of dust/shavings so the stock can sit flush against it.
- a good cutting sled and blade is important. (I use a 80 tooth blade)

If the gap is not to wide you can build half rings and then sand the two halves on a disk sander to make for a perfect edge fit.

and don't get discouraged. I still get rings that don't come out perfect and need to be adjusted or redone.
