    Aloha Vincent, The Sherline mill does not have the accuracy to do
    class rings. Sherline equipment is out about .002'' before, you even
    put motors and a controller on it. For some surfacing applications
    it may be good enough for some people, but for die work or precision
    wax work, it is not. As are many other available mills. Rapid
    Prototyping technologies (3d printing) while good for some
    applications, is not very good for sharp clean lettering or class
    ring manufacture. Another consideration is also the CAD/CAM
    software. If I can answer any questions and help you make an
    educated decision, please feel free to contact me (off list).
