Plain 5 Rosette

The Plain 5 rosette is a 5-sided polygon rosette. Some turners call this a "puffy" rosette because of the shape of the rosette, but at the target diameter on the object, it will yield a polygon with straight sides.

Aspect Value Comments
Pattern Straight Line
Pattern Repeated 5 times Pattern at the target Diameter
Target Diameter
for Rosette Design 		2”

At this diameter on the object being cut, the cuts will produce a 5-sided polygon.

  • A smaller diameter on the object results in surfaces which are concave between the apexes.

  • A larger diameter on the object results in surfaces which are convex between the apexes.

  • An amplitude adjuster can be used to modify these effects.
Phasing Holes 1/8 lobe
Works For End Cutting ☑ Near side cutting
☑ Far side cutting, or using rear rubber column
Side Cutting ☑ Near side cutting
☑ Far side cutting, or using rear rubber column
Complementary Rosettes

Consider pairing this rosette with one (or more) of these.

  • The cuts in the top center show how shape has "collapsed" in on itself, generating a shape that is almost floral.

  • The cuts around the outside show how the shapes are reversing this, becoming convex.
