These aren't new, just new to Rockler.
I've said it before in another thread.
I would put the $70 towards an Incra miter gauge and you won't have to fuss with anything.
IMO, Faster and easier. Also you can get an Incra miter gauge that has positive stops at every single degree, ( plus a vernier scale for 10th's) not just those that create a particular number of segments.

Miter gauges are sometimes like saw blades, the one that come with the tool are not that good, there are exceptions.

Once again, comparing a miter gauge and a wedgie sled is like comparing apples and oranges.
A miter gauge is designed to align wood to be cut at any angle it can accommodate. It is an all purpose alignment tool.
A wedgie sled is designed to cut precise angles relative to itself. It is a task specific tool.

I appreciate all the help, Guys.

I agree with Ed. I am relatively new to turning. I have used both with my initial forays into segmented and staved vessels. I invested quite some time tuning up my saw wrt accuracy of cuts and then did a side by side comparison of my miter gauge/miterset and a wedgie sled. For simple rings I found I was more likely to get a 'perfect' ring with the wedgie sled than the miter gauge but had to correct half rings with both. Neither the sled or the miter gauge were useful for making staved sided bowls. I could rip a strip on the table saw and cut up the pieces, or use a birdsmouth router bit along one edge of a strip.
