Delcam's ArtCAM JewelSmith allows jewellers or pewter-, silver- and goldsmiths, to create highly crafted personalised or custom pieces or new complete lines with ease. Jewellery can be created directly in the ArtCAM CADCAM software or if master model makers prefer they can first: draw their designs, hand sculpt a 3D model or create the piece in a familiar CAD package. Their work can then be simply scanned or imported directly into the software.
To see how the piece will look the model can be rendered at any time and a fully dynamic 3D PDF can be sent to customers for approval. Once the design is ready for rapid prototyping or CNC machining, ArtCAM JewelSmith's integrated machining wizards will set the machine toolpaths or provide the necessary output files.

Fretz chasing hammers have quickly become the favorite of jewelers everywhere, as Fretz hammers are beautifully made and near functionally perfect as any hammer can be. The latest in the line of Fretz hammers, this new Fretz PrecisionSmith chasing hammer is scaled down version of the original Fretz chasing hammer.
While the original Fretz chasing hammer measures 9-1/2 long, the PrecisionSmith chasing hammer comes in at only 8-1/2" with a pistol grip about 40% thinner at 5/8” vs. 1-1/8” for the original. The PrecisionSmith handle is smaller all over, narrowing down to 3/8" at it thinnest compared to 1/2" on the other Fretz chasing hammers. We have seen thinner hammer handles like these only in one-of-a-kind custom made hammer handles, back when making your own hammer handle was a task that any jeweler in training had to accomplish during an apprenticeship. Made from select Paduck wood, these thinner handles are still tough and flexible enough to stand up to the type of fine detail chasing that these hammers are built for.

If offers precise control of melting temperatures up to 2028oF (1120oC) through its user-friendly, easily programmable controller with LED display. 110V/50/60Hz.
Foredom has done it again with this new 2" Angle Grinder used with the popular Foredom #30 handpiece and your flexshaft machine. Foredom's versatile Angle Grinder is a compact, lightweight and easy to manage attachment for working on virtually any material with 2"and smaller accessories. The quality machined Angle Grinder will allow you to polish, grind and sand metal, wood, stone, acrylic, composites, glass, plastics, ceramics, fiberglass, rubber and more.
The great thing about the Angle Grinder is that is allows you to use larger format tools than you may not normally use with a #30 handpiece alone. You also can quickly and easily bring these relatively larger grinding and polishing tools too hard to reach areas. Now instead of wishing you could figure out a way to get an item to your bench polisher, you can bring your polisher right to the item!

Use it next to a bench lathe or move anywhere in the workshop where you need particle collection.

If you work with precious metals, be sure to save up your dirty filters and send them in to your refiner with the rest of your precious metal scrap for a pleasant financial bonus!
