Lathe experiment #2, machined out of a piece of solid aluminum rod. Basically, the ring is stuck because it was carved out of the rod. A collaboration with Matt Stultz.

So friggin’ awesome! Can you show me how you did this, sometime?
@Marty
Sure, it’s just a trick- you start by machining down two sections of rod, leaving a ring-sized separation between them, and then you turn the tool on an angle and undercut it until it is free :-). You can make one, if you want!
I’m goin to have to try this.
@Firo
You should! Remember to send photos, too!
Do you have a video??? impressive
@Semilla
Thanks! We didn’t make a video for this one, however I will certainly make one next time.
Hey,
Very cool idea. As requested here’s a picture of mine. I did this on a HF 9×20 I recently picked up from Craig’s List. I picked up some aluminum rod from Ebay pretty cheap. Thanks for the idea.
