The cabinets are close to finished, time to get back at this project.
The log being cut will go on to a conveyer to index it as the cuts are made. Decided to go with #80 roller chain to move the log. A lot heavier than is needed but the dimensions on it are nice, 1 inch pitch and 5/16 pins. I need teeth to bite into the log to move it. These will replace links in the chain, crossers can then be welded to these. The corners need to be rounded to clear the next link as it rolled over the sprockets.
Made up this jig to locate them on the rotary table. It has a shoulder to align them and a hole for a bolt where one of the pins will go.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
