CHANGING THE CUTTING

ANGLE TO 90 DEGREES

After you have cut a number of angle rings, you will want

to cut some straight or 90 degree rings whose outside diameter

will match the angle rings already cut. Leave the last of an

angle cut piece on the spindle with the lock nut in place. Set the

wing plate to 90 degrees and lock. Remove the index pin, slide

the blade forward until the left blade just touches the left

portion of the wood. See FIGURE 7. When contact is made

with the wood, lock the slide lock.

Unlock the index plate and slide forward until the index pin

will engage the nearest hole. Lock the index plate screw.

Unlock slide lock and pull cutting assembly to the rear.

Remove angle cut wood and replace with a new piece of wood.

You are now ready to continue with cutting straight rings.

FIGURE 7

CUTTING A

STRAIGHT RING

The procedure to cut a straight ring is the same as cutting

an angle ring.

Slide the cutting blades to the wood and insure that both

blades will fully engage wood. Insert index pin in nearest hole

and lock slide. BY HAND, rotate wood one full revolution to

insure blades will engage wood on both sides for the full circle.

Start motor. Cut first from the right and then the left. As the

cutting sound changes and the ring starts to move, stop the

motor and clear the ring from the machine. Cut a second ring in

the same manner. (The first ring will have and octagonal outer

shape and can be used for projects such as clock faces, etc.)

If the above instructions were followed correctly, the

second straight ring will match the outside diameter of an

angle ring cut earlier. If it does not match the outside

diameter of and angle ring, repeat above instruction but be

careful to just touch the blade to remnant of angle wood.

WORKING WITH

THE RINGS

After you have cut a supply of angle and straight

rings, the fun begins. FIGURE 8 illustrates the basic

ways in which you can put the rings together to form

different shapes. What you make, how large you make it,

what wood or combinations of wood you use, and the

finish you apply is all up to you. Now that you have cut

rings around wood, you can create any hollow cylindrical

wooded project.

REMEMBER, RING MASTER® can easily

DUPLICATE any project you make.

A. Two identical rings for sharp outside curve or;

B. Two identical rings for sharp inside curve.

C. Two identical angle rings used with mating straight

ring to yield a soft outside curve or;

D. Two identical angle rings used with mating straight

ring to yield a soft inside curve.

E. A number of straight rings stacked.

F. Mating angle rings, possibly all cut from the same

piece of wood.

GLUING YOUR

PROJECT

Once you have decided on the shape of your project, it

is time to glue it together. Use any furniture glue that is

water soluble. Tight Bond Glue by Franklin is good. It is

helpful to use a gluing jig like the one shown in FIGURE

9. It is actually a 3/8" threaded rod and a wing nut. Most

projects will be glued upside down to utilize the 1/2"

spindle hole found in the center ring.

Start with the ring that is on the open end of the

project. Lay it down flat on a piece of secured sandpaper

on a flat surface. Move the ring in a circular motion on

both sides of the ring to remove any splintered wood fibers

to ensure the glued joints fit properly. Next, lay the ring

on the gluing jig and apply glue to the top surface of the

ring. Place the next ring on top and glue its top surface.

Continue until the last piece with the 1/2" hole is in place.

The last piece acts as a part of the clamp. Place a washer

and the wing nut on the threaded rod and tighten until
