Well those of us that got the wooden versions, we jumped too soon.
The MS now sells the aluminum version.
Both versions are available.
A good move IMHO.

Re: Miterset official SS Accessory
Don't know about the aluminum version, I got the wood one and it is very accurate. Got both the one for angles and segments. The first thing I made, just for fun, is an eleven segment circle. Haven't yet found a purpose for it yet. Maybe a clock someday.

This is good. I am pleased that I was part of the introduction during this accessories debut.

Re: Miterset official SS Accessory
I bought the wood one a few years ago from the manufacturer. I bought the standard one to use with my Powermatic table saw. About 6 months ago I got an email saying that the company had been sold and the new owner was offering the new metal version at a discount.

Re: Miterset official SS Accessory
I may actually spring for this. BUT!!! In order for a segmented ring to come together correctly the segments must be the same length. I guess that a fixture for the face of the miter gauge with a stop for the length would be OK but a free hand cut would probably yield segments of unequal lengths and the glue up would be difficult to get right. The length is the longest of the two parallel edges for those who are not familiar with segment cutting terminology.

Well, I sprung for the set. That and a coupler set is my big spring splurge.

To All
The stated accuracy of this system is .5 deg. Tolerance for segment cutting is actually 0 deg. I would almost have to try this to see if it works out OK or if there will be a gap when the last segment is cut. The math required is not all that difficult. 180 divided by the number of sides equals the angle that the miter saw is set to.
Second question is that if the miter slots on the Shopsmith are not exactly parallel to the saw blade, will this change the actual angle of the cut? From what I get from the video the angle of the miter gauge face is set in reference to the miter gauge bar. So if the table is off slightly it will alter the overall angle of the cut. Yes? or No?
What say the experts?
Charlese has a previous post that shows an eleven segment circle and the cuts seem to come together seamlessly
That is somewhat difficult to do because the circle's diameter is not along a glue line of two segments. With an even number of segments the diameter of the circle will be along the glue line of two segments on opposite sides of the circle. The faces of those segments can be sanded to come together seamlessly to form a circle. Much more difficult with an odd number of segments!!! My hat is off to Charlese.
But I just got an E-Mail from the MS offering a special shipping rate so I still might spring.
