Tip for holding rings in a vise for engraving or stone setting from @master.engraver ๐Ÿ’กโœจ

During the @stullerbenchjeweler Bench Jeweler event, I was reunited with my first engraving teacher, Sam! I needed to hold rings for my stone setting demo, and he shared this genius tip with me:

๐Ÿ‘‰ If you own a GRS BenchMate Collet Set, you can use the holder and slide a small allen wrench through it. Place the bend of the wrench in one of the holes of your vise to hold your ring. This trick is amazing because:
โœ… It reduces vibration
โœ… The allen wrench prevents slipping
โœ… You can quickly rotate to do your work

I love this tip and was so grateful to see Sam at this event and have him share this with us! ๐Ÿ™Œโœจ
