When I started I had trouble sanding the rings flat before I stacked
them. I made a 12" sanding disc & bought sandpaper from a rental floor
sander. You can get 24,36 & 50 grit. I find the 36 gives a rough surface
for the glue between rings. I haven't had any movement problems in my
turnings.

I bought a PSI Woodworking CJAWFJ1 Small Flat Lathe Chuck Jaws. With
that I am able to hold the rings and flatten the rings by first
turning them and then using a sanding block. The large segmented
solid blanks I run through a thickness planner. Rings wouldn't be
safe for a planner. Some of my segmented bowls are at

Only my solid stuff moves. That's why I like segment turning.


I have done some solid stuff. If I start with dry wood it doesn't
seem to move. With the wet I rough turn oversize and let it dry
slowly.
