For segmented woodturning, find the cut angle for each ring segment.

The math behind it

Each joint is cut at 180° ÷ segment count; each segment subtends 360° ÷ segments.

Worked Example

12 segments → 15° miter each cut.

Frequently Asked Questions

More segments?

Smaller miter angles mean smoother curves, but more cuts.
