Ring Master 1: Boards to Bowls SS111


How the amazing
Ring Master works

Just clamp the Ring Master over the rear Way Tube of your MARK V; mount your workpiece disc to the special Arbor; make a few adjustments and you’re ready to go. Here’s a bit more detail:

1. Cut and mount the workpiece – It can be an octagonal or round disc up to 10 5/8? in dia. by 7/8? thick (depending on planned cutting angle). The disc mounts to the Quill of your MARK V with a special threaded Arbor (included) through a 1/2? diameter center hole.

2. Determine and set the proper cutting angle This entire process can be accomplished in about a minute or two by following our simple instructions.

3. Position the Cutting Blades – Make final centering adjustments to the Blades and Index Plate so each Blade engages the workpiece properly from the front and back sides.
The Ring Master is a virtually goof-proof device for quickly turning discs up to 10 5/8? in diameter,or a series of concentric straight or angled rings that are then stacked and glued together to form hollow vessels with sides of consistent thickness. The device mounts directly to your Shopsmith MARK V and, unlike conventional bowl turning techniques, provides the unique benefit of virtually no waste – an important consideration when
working with costly domestic or exotic hardwoods. A secondary benefit of this approach is that for the novice woodturner, there’s very little that can go wrong. Since both of the Cutter Blades are gripped firmly in the Blade Holder at the proper angle – and since the advancement of the Blades
into the workpiece is controlled by the turn of a crank-style Handle – the Ring Master cuts smoothly and with virtually no danger of snags or other problems that could ruin your project.
 
4. Make the cuts – Turn the Ring Master’s crank-style Handle clockwise about six turns (on 3/4? stock) to advance the left Cutter into the stock – then turn counter-clockwise to advance the right Cutter into the opposite side of the stock until the first ring separates.

5. Re-position Slide Plate and Cutter Frame Move the Ring Master’s Cutter Assembly forward a pre-determined distance to cut the next ring.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 above. A great MARK V Accessory that will save you time, save you money and save you the aggravation that often comes with making conventional turning mistakes.
