Step 7Rough cutting the ring.
Set up the flex shaft,clamp, trimmer and bur as in the photo.
Use the bur to shape the blank to the proportions of the ring you scribed.
Run the flex shaft fairly fast to remove larger sections of wax, and reduce the speed as you move closer to your lines.
Leave the scribed lines inside of the cut to allow you to file accurately up to them.
Don't try to get to the 'finished' shape using just the trimmer, what you are doing in this step is getting the ring blank to a point at which you can refine it with files and sandpaper.
