Add a professional threaded closure to your next turning project with this stainless steel threaded ring set. Each set includes one male and one female threaded ring, precision machined to create a smooth, secure fit between the lid and base of your project.
What projects can I make with these rings?
Ideal for turning decorative boxes, keepsake boxes, urns, jars, vessels and other lidded projects, these stainless steel rings eliminate the need to cut wooden threads while providing a durable, long-lasting closure.
Exterior diameter of the rings: 43 mm (approximately 1-11/16")
Height of the rings: 18 mm (approximately 23/32")
What tools do I need to make this project?
A four-jaw chuck, calipers, epoxy and standard woodturning tools are recommended for best results. Tooling is sold separately.
How are the threaded rings installed?
The rings are designed to be epoxied into precisely fitted recesses in both the lid and base. Begin by turning the base and lid separately. Cut a recess in each piece that matches the outside diameter and depth of the stainless steel ring. Test fit frequently using calipers to achieve a snug fit.
Once both recesses have been completed, mix a two-part epoxy and apply it either inside the recess or around the outside of the ring. If applying epoxy directly to the ring, avoid getting adhesive on the threads. Insert both rings, remove any excess epoxy and allow the adhesive to cure completely before threading the lid onto the base.
What skill level is recommended?
This is an advanced woodturning project. There are several approaches to mounting and turning these projects depending on your preferred techniques and available tooling.
Price per set in Canadian dollars.
