Ring Making Equipment

Good News Everyone!

We now have some ring making equipment in the woodshop lathe area. Whether or not you’ve taken the class on making a ring, and so long as you are signed off on the lathe equipment, feel free to make some rings! Below is a link to where I got this equipment and their other ring making offerings. What’s great about this vendor is that they also have really good videos on how to make rings, so they are very worth the watch.

The box is on the bottom drawer of the jet cabinet.

I seem to recall that you used the proceeds from teaching classes in order to acquire this equipment for DMS. Thanks for doing this.

That is correct! Future classes will fund maybe 1 more ring mandrel and a set of smaller carbide tools (which are more desirable when making a smaller item like a ring or pen).

Many thanks. I look forward to using this soon.

We purchased this carbide tool set and have been happily using it for small items on the lathe for several months:
