The angle is set based upon the thickness of the wood so that the rings will match up as you stack them. Here is a video from you tube:

Bob, did yours come as a complete setup, electric motor and all? I ask because I looked up Ringmaster on ebay (one selling, bid at $112 right now) and the one they had looked like it was the piece where the guys hands are, but not the electric motor/lathe part. And it says something about for a Shopsmith. Just wonder if it came complete ready to use.

Looking for a quick and easy project to sell? I bought a round table top at Menards for $7, planed down a 4x4 to 3x3 (actual), then carved two sides with the 1013 to give it some class. This is a portable table you can take out into the yard (there is an 8" rod sticking out of the bottom that goes into the ground for stability), in our case we'll use it around the firepit. Total cost to me was under $15, and I've sold 4 so far at $35.

I have a Ring Master and it, along with my 1013, compliment each other very well. I will post some pictures as soon as I get some help with using my new smart phone.

Looking for a hot project to sell? I've made a few of these now, and they are easy and fast to do and sell well now that fire pits are popular and people need a place to store their smore material while sitting around the fire. These tables fold up for put away, and have a 3/8 straight metal rod coming out the bottom that is pushed into the ground. I use a magnet to hold the table in place while it's flat, and the top is hinged for carrying. I've posted this before, but some added information is that you can buy a 15" diameter pine table top already cut and rounded at Menards for $5. A 15" diameter table will fit on top your 1013 table, allowing you to carve an emblem on it.....I just mounted it to a scrap piece of wood with two screws and clamped down on the scrap wood piece. Total cost is around $16, and they easily sell for $35 or more. I take standard 4 x 4's for the leg ($8 for 8 feet), plane it down on all sides for a smooth finish and to get it down to the 3" of height the 1013 can work with, and then carve what the customer wants on the table and legs. Table height should be between 22" and 24" from the ground, I typically cut the leg at 22" and the table is an inch thick for a final height of 23".

But i still use and love my Oliver machine here is a lid for a game board i made with it
