This is a pretty broad question. The better the equipment the more accurate the cuts are going to be.When cuttings rings, Rockwell bladerunner or bandsaw? Which is recommended? Thank you
Thank you Art for the response. You are right, I returned my bladerunner and now I use the lathe also.I had a bladerunner and sold it. I didn't like what for me was a lack of control for cuts. I would never try to cut rings from a board with it. To directly answer your question, the bandsaw is a far better solution, even with cutting them in half. The scroll saw is good and eliminates the need to cut them in half. I had success cutting the rings on the lathe by mounting the board on a face plate and using a shop made thin parting tool. It does require care and some edge clamps but worked will for me.
Thank you Art for the response. You are right, I returned my bladerunner and now I use the lathe also.
Can you elaborate on what you meant by "edge clamps"?I forgot to say that cut my rings on the lathe at a 45 degree angle.
