    Found this in a text book, Encyclopedia of Jewelry Making Techniques
    by Jinks McGrath, and looks useful but- from the limited information
    it looks like a machine. Theoreticly, one could just cut blanks with
    a saw on the bench pin with the right blade. What do you all think?
    I'm a painter, jewelry is basicly a big experiment for me and I'd
    rather splash my cash on other good bsic tools. Any comments or
    resourses? I have designs demanding a lot of turtle settings for
    chunks of glass and dread sawing them all out individually- we're
    talking hundreds of peices. 

    Steel is my freind- I have welding papers and know where to get it,
    this is just a new way of using it for me. And I could see using it
    in the work if I knew how to peirce it in a more subtle fashion then
    a cutting torch. Thanks 

Lizzy
