In my opinion, the MiterSet tool is the easiest to use, most accurate way to set up miter angles for cutting segments on the table saw. No more hours spent in calibration. No more fixing "gaposis". Click here to visit miterset.com and learn all about it. Now Rockler has a competing product and I'm using it as well. It'll be interesting to compare them,

The Segmented Project Planner has several advanced designers that can be used to add pizazz to your projects. And, if you have SPP version 3.04 or later, they're already on your computer! There currently are 405 people using these advanced designers.

Each designer is fully integrated with SPP and uses project information from SPP plus design inputs from you to create a specific type of complex segment design. Each designer is accessed via the SPP menu using Edit|Designers. Access to help for each designer is via the SPP menu using Help|Designers. The help system for each designer is fully usable, without purchasing the license, so you can learn all about each one before jumping in. Currently, there are six such designers:

DiamondBorder Designer Create a Diamond using the lamination board technique, slice it, flip over each slice, and re-assemble. Slice and saw kerf width adjustments create many different results from the same Diamond and the gamut of Diamonds is limitless. navaho border pattern
Slicer Designer Slice virtually any object you've already made, or intend to, such as previously made zigzags, stacked sawings, and diamonds. Slice and saw kerf are fully asjustable to create many different results from the same source image. sliced circle glue-up
Diamond Designer You create a Diamond using the lamination board technique where you start with slices cut at a fixed angle, flip over alternate slices, and re-assemble. Then cut in half and slide to create the diamonds. DiamondDesign
ZigZag Designer The process starts with defining a lamination board and then slicing at an angle, 2 slices per zigzag. Then flip over alternate slices and glue pairs together to make zigzag units.      ZigZag Design
Segmented Scene Designer This designer works directly with the colors used to paint the segments in the current project and displays the rings unrolled into a flat sheet so you can create a scene out of appropriately chosen wood colors.
Blocks Designer Start by using/creating two or more lamination boards using woods of good contrast.Then cut several slices and assemble into a block using Drag and Drop. Then, two miter cuts, and you have a segment. A block may contain as many as 20 slices.
