Tips for cutting wood segments

9/28/2019

10 Comments

 
Bob Rundquist is a woodworking artist from Saltillo in Mississippi who presents an online workshop (Introduction to segmenting) where he demonstrates how to do closed segmenting. This segmenting class is for beginners, but seasoned woodworkers may get several handy tips from this virtual class.

The golden rule of woodworking: "Measure twice, cut once".

Cutting wood for lovely wood segmented projects is not just about measuring, but safety for the woodworker as well. The smaller the segments, the more dangerous to cut. When you work with precious wood and/or colorful expensive wood, then you do not want to waste any of the wood. That brings the question of what to use for cutting the wood.
​The table saw can be your biggest friend if you know how to get zero clearance when cutting segments. Accidents do happen, but you can minimize the possibilities if you follow the advice of Bob Rundquist in this video.
When you work with any power tools, be on the alert the whole time. Accidents happen easily when you do not pay attention.

I learned a lot from it as well! I'm regularly picking up wood at a lumberyard in High Falls and can't be too careful these days as my sight gets worse.

Great blog post on tips for cutting wood segments! As someone who enjoys woodworking, I found the advice given to be practical and useful. The step-by-step instructions for using a miter saw and band saw were particularly helpful, as well as the tips on selecting the right blade and measuring the angles accurately. I also appreciated the emphasis on safety precautions and the reminder to take breaks and rest your eyes during long cutting sessions. Overall, this post has definitely improved my understanding of how to cut wood segments with precision and efficiency. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

I like how you mentioned that measuring materials twice is much better to ensure the appropriate measurement needed for your project. My cousin informed me yesterday that he and his wife were looking for lumber materials because he was planning to build a deck made of lumber for a stable and cost-efficient function. He asked if I had ideas on the best decking approach. I'm thankful for this informative lumber ideas article. I'll tell him he can consult a well-known lumber yard for details about their materials.

Couldn't agree more! A lumber yard is a great resource for this sort of information. I love going to my local family-owned one. It has a lot of experts.

"Measure twice, cut once" is a great motto. I've made the mistake of not doing that on more than one occasion. I've always lived to regret it. Extra trips to the lumberyard aren't the worst punishment, but it's far from convenient.
