Rings  6/25/2007

Ring thinning tool......Use the hardest material  that you have.....Depression should be ding OD, amd the exact depth as the ring thickness that you want....

Ring tool with ring inserted....

I use a 1' x 30' belt sander and the tool to thin the rings to desired thickness....The   tool/drill spins the ring against the sanding belt.....First snooth one side of the ring, then reverse the ring an smooth the second side of the ring to the face of the tool......You will feel the "load" of the sander reduce when you get the ring to the tool thickness....
