To cut undercuts with the spindle, use the woodturning tool ring. When using this tool, you must be present to the spindle and move slowly away from it. Do not pull away the cutting tip rapidly as this can break the ring. The inner side of the bead can be sanded before the spindle separates. The captive ring tool can also be used to make undercuts on spindle prior to separating it.

How To
How do you measure wood accurately?
There are many methods for measuring 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 has two jaws that open and close. The one jaw holds the object to be measured, while the other measures distance between them. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. A red dot is created by the laser. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. For larger surfaces, laser leveling is the best method of checking accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The center of the device contains a bubble. The device will inform you if the surface is level if the bubble is in the center. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
