Jig for making staves
Did not want to hijack anyone's post so I thought I would start a new one. This could fall under the section of segmentation so that is why I am posting here and in the turning forum. I am looking for plans or photos of a jig to be used on a tablesaw for cutting staves. The size of the staves are going to relatively small such as 2" tall and maybe 1" wide at the widest part. But the key is to be able to make a cylinder in different number of staves such as 8 or 12 or more. I know it is a compound cut. It tapers from the widest to the narrowest and is also beveled on both sides. Hope I am making sense. I have done a small version of it with 8 sides but need to refine something to make them more accurate. If this is not clear I probably could post a photo of what I got so far.
