    I got one side to stick apart from one broken stone. having a lot of trouble getting them to sit upright and also I've a feeling i shouldn't have split the beads like I did?

    yes pushing with more pressure and going slower seem to help, but swapping to busch burs fixes that mostly. I'm really struggling with the setting part. I'm not sure if I've cut/divided up the prongs in the right fashion. I see some superglue happening to this one too. lots of my holes are...

    any advice for a stone setting newbie who's only watched YouTube videos. I think I've stuck like 8 stones into metal to date. I'm fascinated by what the bottom of the drill holes look like, I guess I didn't drill large enough? Busch burs make so much difference. The carbide ones will last...

    i see Alexander likes busch. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_aS8X8oR5B/?igsh=OXptbmFveHNhb3cy I do enjoy watching him work... especially on the box with the textured inlay and quatrafoil. . this is a good little snippet on sharpening tips for protractors...

    ok so matching drill size to bur size you're going to finish at is more important than I'd thought. too big and it's really easy to slip clean out the other side. too small and the round but doesn't want to go through. round burs don't really cut on the top. busch pave burs do away with all...

    admittedly I didn't try every bur in each box but what I did note is that of these 3 sets I bought off of Rio grande years back. the Swiss burs chattered like mad. the maliffer carbide burs cut this fascinating ?7 sided roundish facet as they kind of bounce around in the holes and the best...

    regarding afore mentioned broken drills, I punched them out with a broken bur I'd saved after burring out the back of the metal til I got to the drill with relative ease, got my punch stuck and broke it too but seeing it was tapered I turned it over and punched it out from the other side. I got...

    tonight's effort. one broken stainless drill. one broken busch carbide drill, which before I got to it was an absolutely gorgeous creation, got to get some more of them and not break them. I managed to make dents accross the rest with the busch pave bur/drill. I scribed and made little dents...

    I've laid out the project for the day. This can be a quick design transfer method. Easy to peel off and rinse away paper glue. bees wax wiped over the metal and stones placed upside down. I think I'll use my scrim scribe to put lots of dots around each so I know where they'll all go. 2mm...

    Here's one of the promised videos... this one just shows how quiet the Foredom 1040 is compared to the previous tool that lacked a gradual speed foot pedal. I've set one stone with it so far, one can still do it wrong and get chatter but when you slow it right down and do it right it's...

    thanks farmer. I've ordered a couple of busch carbide. I do love carbide. I did have a close look at the teeth on some of my setting burs and while they're all still there I was unimpressed with the evenness... one tooth wasn't shaped quite right on one bur. I'll do a good test video of...

    who makes the best burs for setting? especially pave. I should order a few top notch burs to use with the tool when it arrives in a month or two depending on customs delays. lots of time for watching videos til then.
