As part of a project I'm making, I need to make a 4' ring. The outer
circumference, which will be the 4' diameter, will be cut on my band saw
by setting up a jig that has a pivot 2' from the blade. I'm looking for
suggestions for the best way to cut the inner diameter which will be at
2' - 4" giving the "ring" a 10" width. The material is 3/4" thick. So
far I'm thinking my jig saw or my router with a fence set at 10" and
multiple passes. Any other suggestions? As always, thanks in advance!!



round picture frames are typically made in pieces, and joined together
with
splines or some such.



Yup! 20" pieces, eight of them, 22.5 degree cut on each end, to be
joined I have two of these rings to make, so 16 pieces, total. Think
I'll have some degree accuracy if I cut the inner curve before assembly
then bandsaw the outer curve after?

if it were me, i'd glue them into 4 semicircles, dry join 2 together, draw
out the 2 circles, split it back into halves, and then cut the inside and
outsides on the bandsaw. repeat.
