I too was confused by the phrase ¡¯turning rings¡¯. ?I finally settled on the possibility that it refers to the diameter of the curled waste material that the lathe produces in making a cut, however I have no idea if that is correct. ?Please let us uneducated know precisely what the phrase means.

If the turning rings are smaller in cross-section, less grinding is required. I like to use small cross-sections, including broken centre drills and sometimes broken taps.
