As part of a project I'm making, I need to make a 4' ring. The

by setting up a jig that has a pivot 2' from the blade.

Two thoughts:

1. Lathe and faceplate.

With 4' this lathe will be a rather large one...



Listen, if your lathe doesn't have a 4 foot swing you're not a REAL
woodworker.g


Yes, but it would be so much easier to put that 28" bit in the drill

press:-)
