Using mini CNC lathes to produce rings is a rewarding and enjoyable process, especially for jewelry DIY enthusiasts and jewelry manufacturers. They make a variety of simple yet elegant rings. There are round type, square type and water drop type. There are simple and complex styles. Below, an engineer from Shanghai ANTISHICNC Machine Equipment Co., Ltd. will explain to you how to process metal rings with our mini CNC lathe CK210B:
1.Workpiece preparation: Start with a cylindrical or rectangular workpiece of the selected material, slightly larger than the final size of the ring (ring diameter: 13-25mm). The through hole of the CK210B CNC lathe is 26mm and can process a max. diameter of 210mm, which is suitable for ring processing. When processing, ensure that the workpiece is securely mounted in the lathe chuck or between centers.
2.Outer Diameter Turning (OD Turning):Use turning tools to reduce the diameter of the workpiece to the desired size and shape for the outer surface of the ring. This process shapes the exterior of the ring and creates the desired profile.
3.Inner Diameter Turning (ID Turning):Use specialized boring tools or drill bits to create the central hole or bore of the ring. This process removes material from the center of the workpiece to form the inner diameter of the ring.
4.Profile Shaping:Use cutting tools or gravers to shape the outer profile of the ring, creating decorative patterns, grooves, or bevels as desired. This step adds aesthetic appeal and customization to the ring design.
5.Surface Finishing:After shaping and profiling the ring, use abrasive tools or sandpaper to smooth the outer and inner surfaces of the ring. This process removes any tool marks or imperfections and creates a polished finish.
6.Deburring: Remove any sharp edges or burrs from the edges and surfaces of the ring using deburring tools or techniques. Deburring ensures safety and improves the comfort and appearance of the finished ring.
7.Optional Steps:Depending on the material and desired finish, you may choose to apply additional surface treatments or coatings to the ring, such as polishing, plating, anodizing, or engraving. These steps enhance the appearance and durability of the ring.
