Three Ideas for Setting Up a Bench Pin

www.diycastings... From my basic bench pin to using a can opener screwed to the underside for mold cutting to using the mandrel holder from www.potterusa.com. Each idea works excellent and has had lots of use over the years. www.diycastings...

Thanks so much fro this vid! Im not on your level, but I just happen to buy that little hammer a few weeks ago! Guess I'd better learn how to channel set, lol!!!

That mandrel holder is a nice tool if you don't have blowhorne stake.

I don't know what a blowhorne stake is and as a diamond / gemstone setter I prefer this over anything else.

I'm upset .I changed to the bench m8 plate and pin . Reason the pin plays in up motion no matter how you adjust or try to shim or brace . I might keep the plate and go back to the old clamp on . Did the job 100 time better no movement or slop on peg ! FOR THE $ IT IS NOT A VERY QUALITY THOUGHT PRODUCT or worth the change ! SORRY !
