In this video I unbox, set up and test the Wedge Pro segmenting sled by Quality First Wood Products (Mike Pearson). Is this the simplest jig for new segmented woodturners? Watch the video to find out. First some useful links Quality First Wood Products https://q1wp.com/ Intro to segmented woodturning part 1 https://youtu.be/Z-EEhNssfjM?si=PK1sSJT5_QTQXxna Intro to segmented woodturning part 2 https://youtu.be/xCfYrrqzcjs?si=H0Q0lW2xLbWHB6kM With that out of the way, I have 12 minutes to kill while I wait for the video to upload. So, is this really the easiest jig for cutting segments? I can't possibly know that since I have not used every single jig in existence. But what I can tell you is that this jig will make it super easy to cut segments for woodturning. Will it cut the wood and glue up the rings for you? No. If you're currently designing that type of jig or just had a great idea to build that jig, just remember where you heard it from. Once you get it perfected, send me one. Remember... If you design a jig that cuts your segments for you and glues everything together, I want one to test. Feel free to use my idea but you'll owe me a free sample. Ok, now back to the Wedge Pro... It really is simple to operate once it's set up properly. I should mention that even though Mike has made it really easy to set up by providing meticulous instructions and setup guides, it's up to you to follow the directions to the letter. Cmon, I mean if you don't bother to read the directions you can't possibly expect things to work properly. The sled will only be as accurate as you are during set up, so be careful and follow the directions. You've been warned. So, even though you were warned, you didn't follow the directions correctly or you're having some issues... no worries. Mike is a great person with a big heart. If you call him, and describe your issue, he will be more than willing to try to help you remedy your issue and get you back on track. Mike is just an awesome individual, but please do your best before calling Mike. Whatever you do, don't call me. I don't answer the phone. I don't even think I have a phone, and if I did have one, I probably wouldn't answer it. Ok, Google says my video is uploaded so I'm gonna go. Peace out and happy segmenting!!!
