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 can be sanded prior to the spindle separating. The captive ring tool can also be used to make undercuts on spindle prior to separating it.
Termite tool
The Termite tool for woodturning is a ring-shaped cutting tool that hollows end grain quickly. It's named Termite for its ability to cut very smoothly and require little sanding. The Termite Tool is very useful for hollowing boxes, goblets, and other hollow objects. You can also use this tool to make bowls and vessels.
The Termite tool's ring-shaped cutting edge creates a shear cut in almost any material. Termites are ideal for hollowing small containers without drilling a hole. Unlike a saw, the termite can pick up the cut from the center and produce flat or slightly concave tops. You must first present the cutting edge of the Termite Tool to the wood. Otherwise, the wood drive will catch onto the termite tool.

How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
We have several ways to measure wood. A digital caliper is a tool that measures distances. We also use a laser level to ensure your work surface flattens.
A digital caliper can have two jaws, which open and close. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two 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 a red dot on the line. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. For larger surfaces, laser leveling is the best method of checking accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. As long as the bubble is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
