I have been thinking about this actually! It might be awhile but I think I will go through a similar test as this for several more plated and etched rings.

Wow, thank you! I am happy to hear!

@@DreamwoodRings I also got gold tungsten and black ceramic blanks for you. Can you tell me if the gold tungsten is gold throughout, or is it gold coated? Meaning, if I sand the edges, am I going to see silver or will it stay gold? Thanks in advance!

@@hobbycow5346 It is just plated gold. Go to my main channel and go to my shorts. I have a quick 60 second video on the gold tungsten rings you should take a look at.

@@DreamwoodRings Thanks! Though the one gold tungsten ring I made held up well to cutting sanding and polishing. None of the gold plating came off! So they must be a very high quality vs. the gold plated stainless blanks from Amazon. Are you getting size gold 8 and 11’s back in stock soon?

@@hobbycow5346 nice! I should. Check back on Tuesday!

I engraved on an anodized aluminum card with a fiber laser. The right settings with the fiber laser can get a very nice white on the aluminum.

Yeaaahhh, I cut my finger one time and decided I needed to find a better way 🤣

Thank you! Yes it could be worse! :D

🤣 glad you enjoyed the dumpster dive! That is not the first time either 🤦‍♂️

Oh no! Does your lathe have the knockout bar? To slide into the left side hole of the lathe? Thank you!

@@DreamwoodRings Hi! I don’t think so, it’s a mini polisher with a couple of different tools you can change out with the spindle-one is a ring mandrel-it doesn’t slide back and forth like a lathe but everything else is the same. It’s a really cool little piece, but I just can pull the spindle of to put the ring mandrel off! Gah, it’s frustrating! Lol

Thank you!

haha I guess so

Yes but now it gets to go enjoy a different life :D

Thank you!

ha definitely

yes! I have done one in the typical green. Adding a rfid chip could work. I wonder how well it would do being surrounded by the metal.

@@DreamwoodRings could try using that black ceramic material instead of metal. 👍

Thanks for watching!

We make them. Send us a message of what you need and I can happily give you a quote. mydreamwoodrings@gmail.com

Ceramic is not plated, so a carbide tool will not scratch or discolor it.

Shoot! The ring mandrels are acetone resistant, so sometimes using that can help get a ring unstuck. But Gary send me an message if it was one of our mandrels.

ha same same!

It's possible I probably started this because of you! 😅

I may try that. I also could leave it under the laser a little longer and think that would help!

I use both! Just depends on what I am doing. cutting precise sizes I use the metal lathe.

This is actually a black ceramic ring. It is not plated so the black could never be rubbed off. If you were to use a black plated ring then yes sanding or polishing could remove the black plating.

Thanks for watching!

Hey, you can definitely do it with some Zam and a cotton wheel with a Dremel or other rotary device. Do you have a Dremel? You can send us a few images to info@dreamwoodshop.com and we may possibly be able to give you a quote on fixing it up as well.

Thank you Pat!

Glad it was helpful!

Have the equivalent of a PM 1022V as well as a jet 1221vs

Hey! On this one I believe it was a 5-6mm width.

😅 Now you'll never forget!! Thanks for watching.

Thanks!

It is a bit harder but there are ways if you use a drill or a drill press!

Definitely. We made rings on just a drill for a long time. Check out our bentwood ring series I believe it shows how we make one with a drill.

Спасибо! Напишите нам, если вы заинтересованы.

We use a CA glue, either medium or thin.

I’m not a lathe expert but it seems to me that perhaps your carbide tool isn’t sharp enough or you are going in too fast and hard.

Yeah, I think @goilo is right! You need to get a slow good tempo going depending on your material.

Thank you! 😊

Yes we do! It is a bit harder of a material so I would sand as high in grit as possible but then you should finish with a polish compound like zam that we have on our site!

Yes it can be. This ring has a 5mm wide channel so it may get close but yes you can!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

I have always switched between them just based off my project and what works easier for each one. I think they are both great options.

Thank you! This has been a favorite of ours for sure.

This is a galvo head 30 watt co2. It was imported by XT laser.

Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

I am using a nova chuck with soft jaws you can get from our website! The nova chuck is the one around $80
