Template for segmented wheels etc
I think this has been mentioned before but for those of you who may not be aware of it you can make a great template for segmented wheels or an indexing plate template using Microsoft Office Excel program no matter how many segments you want to use.
Simply type the number "1" in each row until you reach the number of segments you want, For instance if you want a segment with 14 pieces just type "1" in each cell from A1 to A14 inclusive and then click on the "Insert" tab and choose to insert a Pie chart. This will place a segmented pie chart in the worksheet. It will be in solid colours but is simple to change to an outline drawing by clicking on the "Format" tab and selecting the "Shape" style. and you are done. Just a matter of printing it out and adjusting the size to suit your needs.

Works great as an indexing plate for making spoked wheels.

Great tip
Your tip has changed from good to great.
I printed a pie chart and make a template for 2" wheels. Cut out 3/8" thick wheels and marked for the cuts on a jig. Glued the right and left sides together.
What a change.
Thanks for sharing. Now I will cut thee wheels out of hardwood and finish the grader.
