Preparing the Foredom AllSet™ for Cutting Bearings in ProngsBy: Mark B. Mann Copyright © Visual Communications, Inc. 2005 |

This article covers setting-up Foredom's AllSet Master Stone Setting Kit to cut consistent bearings for an in-line bracelet.
The depth of the cut should allow the top of the gemstone to be slightly below the tops of the prongs prior to bending them. Experiment with a couple of settings and make the final adjustment. Next bur all bearings, one after the other using the Foredom Model TX Flexshaft at a medium low speed with plenty of lubrication. The AllSet took less than two minutes to assemble for this project. Most AllSet users typically remove the L bracket only and use the No. 30 handpiece for general use with the AllSet attachment secured to it. Use of the AllSet takes less time to set up when leaving the attachment secured to the handpiece. |
