Hi Doug. I just wanted to thank you for your video. I was stuck in a rut and watched so many videos and it was yours that got me out of it! I appreciate you passing along your knowledge :)
Doug, Great info. I too teach my beginning students to strike the top of the bezel with an old bur. I am curious if you taper the bur or just leave it flat.
Hi Doug - Me AGAIN! I made a ring that required filing down two sides of the bezel in order to set a stone on a curve. After wearing it awhile, it got a little loose. Do the same principles that apply to a flat bottom also apply to a curve bottom setting? Thanks! >^..^< Cat
Valerie, the tip of the bit that comes with the engraver is pretty hard metal, I use either an old bur that I have ground down or you can take the bur that is in the engraver and turn it around. There is a little set screw at the base of the tool that you can loosen with a small screw driver and either replace the bit or turn it around. Hope this helps. Doug

Great info! Can you use a hammer hand piece with the Foredom SR or do you need the high torque/lower speed model?
+tinker Sue yes, you can use the hammer handpiece on the SR model. it can even be used on the lower end motors like "Buffalo" brand.

Doug, Great info. I too teach my beginning students to strike the top of the bezel with an old bur. I am curious if you taper the bur or just leave it flat.
Brenda, I have a very slight dome to it, and rough it up with 400 sandpaper to keep it from wanting to slide off.
thanks
Thanks Doug! Question: do you first push the side then the top down or only the top down?
Soulful Jewels push the sides in first, then the top down to tighten.
Thank you
You are so welcome.

Cat, yes the same principle applies.
Doug... Question,. Do I file down the tip of the point on that Dremel engraver?
Valerie, the tip of the bit that comes with the engraver is pretty hard metal, I use either an old bur that I have ground down or you can take the bur that is in the engraver and turn it around. There is a little set screw at the base of the tool that you can loosen with a small screw driver and either replace the bit or turn it around. Hope this helps.
