Looks great! Questions (1) when you take out the bench pin & insert your new tool into the grey thing, what is that thing? Can one use a vise? (2) When you saw the rings, do you saw horizontally or at 45-degree angle?
Good questions. In answer to your questions 1) it is a GRS bench-pin holder. Yes you could use a vise. 2) sawing at approximately 30 to 45-degree angle. Thanks again for watching and for your questions.
This is a very nice compact little jig!! But are you still limited by how long the coil you make can be (like in your demo what looks like roughly 1.5 inch)? Any longer I am not sure how you will be able to bend your saw while cutting it.
Great question! The normal cutting surface of a jeweler’s saw blade is 4 inches. The optimum cutting length of a coil in our jump ring jig is 2 inches, so you have enough saw blade surface to draw on. You can make a coil up to 3 inches but it severely limits your draw on the saw blade. The back of the coil does not have to lay flat in the trough as long as the plate is pushed against it, so you should not have to bend your saw blade. Thanks for your question and the positive feedback!

Great invention!
Thank you so much! It definitely has made my jump ring cutting easier.
