- We have used several different ring mandrels over the last few years. We have decided to give our best review on each of the different mandrels. I am sorry for the audio! Some weird things were going on with my mic as I was recording and filming at the same time on this one! Thank you for watching, comment your questions!

New at turning .. Thanks for explaining the collet chuck holder in the beginning. For that I subscribed !! It was extremely helpful.
Question .. why might my wood ring not be the same thickness all the way around. It measures 6 mm at its thinnest and creeps up to 9 mm as I go around the ring ? Ty
Thank you! Happy to hear that helped. It could be wobbling on the lathe, or just cut crooked?
How do you pull out the livestock end piece after your ring is complete... Seems like it might wedge itself in
@@rickbadessa4897 do you mean on the Nylon mandrels, or the collet chuck?
@@DreamwoodRings nylon
Hi there, I’m a novice machinist and brand new to ring making. I saw you indicating off the ring, I wondered for here at home, do you have a method for verifying if there is any runout in the ring itself to get a close idea of the accuracy of the fixtures themselves? I know in the case of this video you were going for relative comparisons. I couldn’t quite tell if your indicator had any preload, for some fixtures it appeared to have some and for others it didn’t. All the same, I appreciate the demonstration of what’s available!
Hey Daniel, I tried my best to 0 out every mandrel. For rings at home I'm not quite sure! If you find a way let me know. I've never really had a problem with the minimum amount of runout though. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Very nice and informative. I have a question. not sure f it is your channel where I saw it. I have a piece of wood. quite special to me. I want to mount it on a 8mm inlay blanc. Not sure, if I break it apart (2 Pieces) how will i mount it? ow will i compensate for the loss of meterial where the break is. if you can assist, that would be great, or just point me in a direction please.
Hi I have a video on that very thing! Check under videos and how to inlay wood and antler. You just need to make your wood inside diameter around .1-.2mm bigger than the ring diameter for it to fit perfectly.
I appreciate this video man. I just started my ring making journey and will be buying the CF mandrels This week from you. I bought the artisan chuck and am happy with it, but I agree that I don't have enough room. I also have your set of jaws as well as the boring tool knob in my cart also. What a great idea! Pretty badass that you offer at such a great price. Thanks a ton!
Thank you for watching and the support! I hope you like the carbon fiber mandrels!
When you use the “Unimandrel” on your metal lathe, how do you attach it to the head stock??? Three jaw chuck…..Four jaw chuck??? Thank you
I am currently using a 3 jaw chuck. I'd love a collet chuck though!
If you use the proper sized bushings on the artisan mandrel for the ring size you're turning, clearance shouldn't be an issue.
Yes you do get enough clearance, but with sanding I like to be able to flatten out the sand paper to make sure I am not oversanding into the channel. And with the pieces on the edges it makes that difficult.
What type of lathe do you have? I see it is a JET but what type metal or wood and HP or does it really matter when dealing with rings
sorry for the delay! I have a Jet 1221 lathe. I started out on the small harbor freight lathe though.
Interesting video. I’m actually in the middle of designing myself a new mandrel, because the runout I’m getting isn’t acceptable on everything else I have. I’m looking for fairly high precision, and I’m hoping for less than 0.003” of runout when it’s finished.
That would be amazing! Thanks for watching, If you get it worked out I would love to see the final product.
@@DreamwoodRings will do. I found your profile on Instagram, I’m more active there so I’ll reach out to you over there
Recently I have been making wood bushings for each ring. This is very helpful! Thank you!
That sounds like a lot of work! I am glad this was helpful! Thank you :)
Looking to move into ring making at that was very informative Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome....whats the size of your clampling collect?
Thank you! I believe 1/2"
Do you have a link for the lathe that I would need to buy to make these rings
Hi Carol, any table top wood lathe would do the trick! You can start with a cheap harbor freight wood lathe if you wanted to!
What is the brand/name of the fancy expensive one?
That one is from Ringsupplies. Called Unimandrel. We have since released a similar one that I should do this same test . shopdreamwood.com/products/centering-ring-mandrel-carbon-fiber-nylon
What was the dimension of mandrel for DREMEL please? Will not it down this time. Can’t find all conversations.
I believe dremel max shank size is a little less than 1/4 inch.
Do you have a link where you got your morse taper collet chuck?
amzn.to/3gTKFCK here is the chuck
amzn.to/3B1VHwq Here is the collet set
@@DreamwoodRings thank so much! Been making pens on my lathe for the past two years and want to give rings a try. Great video. Very informative!
@@MerlynNY nice! Thank you for watching, and I. Always happy to help.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Since the video we have released our own centering mandrel as well.
