Made these three rather plain and low priced bowls today and decided to make a short video of how slick the Ringmaster cuts out rings. Those three bowls were made from a two foot long by eight inch wide by 3/4" thick piece of maple.
In a previous video , I had shown how some do it with taping the rings just before the cutters are all the way through so the rings don't pop off.
This time I showed how quickly it can be done by letting them fly off by themselves.
What looks like a ridge in the center of the rings is paper thin and can be wiped off with a finger . When using masking tape , the path of the cutters overlap on each other so that doesn't show.
I cut out and glued up rings and sanded and finished these three all within a couple hours. Of course there is always waiting time for glue and finishes to dry but I don't count that time because it is computer time rather than shop time ;D.
Here is link to the Youtube video that shows the cutting of the rings and I don't normally go that fast .
I normally take my time and spend about an extra minute per bowl ;D Just wanted to show what the machine is capable of.
