That is the process as described by all the material at YouTube University. Just finished making the "Weggie Sled", plans downloaded at "segeasy.com" Cut a twelve segment ring and a 16 segment ring out of scrap. Glued up the segments right off the Shopsmith, NO gaps what so ever. Big kudus and thanks go out to Jerry Bennett for publicly sharing the process. You can purchase Wedgies from Jerry or if you have a vernier protractor it is a snap to set the angles. With a 2d drawing printed right out of Fusion 360 you can pick the segment dimensions right off the printout. Takes a lot of the mystery out of the process for sure.
