Will you always have creative ideas. I make segmented bowls and use the
Wedgie system on the table saw. I like to make 12 sided rings because I turn them on the lathe. Your premise is a good one but will waste a lot of wood to make the same amount of segments that can be cut more efficiently on a table saw. That said if your only tool is the Shapeoko then your instructions would work.
This is a forum dedicated to CNC machine but some jobs in the shop are simply better done the old fashioned way. I have planners, jointers, bandsaws but sometimes a good old hand plane or chisel is the best and most efficient way of doing some things. To each his own.
If a carpenter only has one tool, a hammer, then everything looks like a nail. Use your full tool kit and mix up the machines with hand work.
