I have a problem with my segmented rings coming out larger than I want them to be.
I use caliper to measure cut size, and I cut my segments with and Incra mitre gauge, but my rings always come out bigger than they should.
Example. 12 sided 6 inch ring: Diameter (6 inches) times .26795 = 1.6077:
I cut 12 segments to size @ 15 Degrees. Ring turns out to b 6.5 inches instead of 6.0 inches.
Where am I going wrong. This oversize happens on all size of rings. Not only on 6 inch rings.
Thanks for the help.
