The woodturning ring can be used to make undercuts for the spindle. When using this tool, you must be present to the spindle and move slowly away from it. The ring can be broken if you pull off the cutting tip too quickly. The inner side of the bead can be sanded before the spindle separates. You can also use the captive tool to make undercuts to the spindle before it separates.

How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a digital caliper (a tool used to measure distances), a laser level (used to make sure your work surface is flat), and a bubble level (used to make sure your work surface is perpendicular).
Two jaws are available on a digital scaler. One can open and the other close. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. The line can be viewed down to determine if the surface has an even surface. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
