Can I run glued up ring in my plainer if I use a sled ?
Or would cross grain throw it at me like the 1in. strip of pine with a
knot I ran on edge that went into cement block wall ?

I will bet cross grain tearout will be an issue.

A planer might work, but I would be worried about tearout, and the
ring just blowing up. If you have a drum sander, that will work a lot
better.

A glued-up ring is very fragile, because all the glue joints are
end-grain joints.. I would think it would explode in a planer, but
I've never tried it myself. I use a 12" disk sander (on the lathe) to
true one face, then true the other, after it's glued on, with a gouge.

I wouldn't try it. If you have a drill press take a look at the "Safety
Planer":

I've researched this a bit. Beside the fragility and tearout issues
there is the problem of snipe unless passed through on a sled of some
kind. The other major problem for me was that either a planer or
sander was high cost. I can't justify $500 for the amount I would use
the tool.

I've used a 3/4" router mortising bit in the drill press and the
safety planer and both work acceptably, if a bit slow. The solution I
finally came up with works wonderfully well and is fast. I mount the
ring in my Cole jaws, true one side, flip it and true the other.
Sometimes I true only the first side then wait till it's glued up and
then true the other.

Hi Jerry, The best way to flatten rings is with a performax. I've seen
plans on the net for building one.
Next best would be a disc sander. That works well but you can't get an
even thickness unless your very careful.
Before I had a performax I used to flatten rings with a 12" disc stuck
to a piece of countertop. This method is slow but it works fine.
I've also glued the ring to a plywood disk mounted on a faceplate and
trued them on the lathe. Just start with a thicker ring.
I tried the planer method but that didn't work well at all. Lots of
tearout.

Hi Jerry
I would use a sander, I have a link here for a V-drum sander you can
build yourself, pretty low cost and works very well.
These people do the wood shows and have sold these sanders for years,
also a good place for abrasives.
No affiliation, just good products and service.

Have fun and take care

Thanks for the info.

It gave me a great idea,now where is that rolling pin & old tread mill
the old lady doesn't use any more.
I see a new tool for the work bench !!!!

I've always wanted to try that, but believe that it would wouldn't work
in a particularly spectacular way. So, if you do decide to try it, grab
your camcorder and post a video to youtube so we can all enjoy the
excitement from the safety of this side of a computer monitor. :-)

I've long wished I had one of those benchtop drum sanders for just such
a task. I true up the rings on the lathe which does OK, but it would be
nice to have a drum sander to do a final pass with like this one:

Just can't justify the $540. Not that that ever stopped me before.
Hmmm, where's that checkbook?

I actually sanded the edges of a 19-sided glued cylinder today. I clamped
my belt sander upside down on the bench and sanded to the carefully drawn
ring I pencilled around it. It worked nicely.
