   It depends on the type of glue you are using. Generally, follow directions on the bottle. For turning purposes, I would be inclined to double that time, at least. Just my gut feeling.

   The directions on the bottle normally say the glue sets in 30 - 60 minutes, but don't stress it for 24 hours. I've glued up lots of projects, waited an hour or two and then continued sanding, planing or whatever. In your case, I would wait a while longer, maybe over night, since the turning might put some stress on the joints.

   I'm with bilyo. For a segmented turning, spinning at a few thousand rpm on a lathe, I'd wait a couple of days. It's just not worth the risk.

   I glue segments and rings waiting only an hour in between glue ups.
   I wait about two hours before I run a ring through the drum sander to flatten.
   I wait at least 24 hours before I turn.

   48 hours to 72 hours for something going on the lathe.

   If you want accurate advice, you should specify what glue you are using.

   That's not very nice!

   Noted.
   It was a bit harsh. I have revised accordingly.

   You should wait about 24 hours to play it safe. Depends on what kind of glue you are using, but if you are feeling brave to can give it a shot after 2 hours.

   Using Titebond II and I waited 18hrs and had no issues. I also live in Florida so maybe the heat and humidity speeds up drying time…
