I have just taken a interest in Woodturning,so I am a complete novice,on a very large learning curve.What I am interested in is Segmentation Turning,some of the designs are very eye catching.i hope to be able to have a go at it soon. It's important to cut precise angled cuts,I was wondering,is it possible to cut so many pieces by hand ? And what would be the best set up, for to achieve near perfect angled-cuts every time by hand.I came across a web page, and its a tool called "Joint Maker Pro" , its a American Product, sold by Bridge City Tools.I have to be honest ,the price of it shocked me a bit,near 1100 Dollars,for a hand held cutting machine,although ,it's a awesome piece of kit.Would anyone on this Forum,ever have used this miter saw?and would there be an outlet for this product in Britian or Ireland. Would there be a far cheaper method of cutting a large amount of cuts by hand,and all pieces are perfect cuts?Some type of Miter Block,using some type of Japenese Saws,who have a great tradition of producing Fine Hand Saws,to produce Glass Cuts,no sanding needed? I am not a wealthy man,1100 Dollars is big bucks,could someone give me some advice on this one,what Miter Block or Jig would they recommended.
Yours Kindly Paul
