PLIER KIT STUDENT ECONOMICAL

Kit contains three pliers (Nos. 46.0170, 46.0175 and 46.0180) and two cutters (Nos. 46.0185 and 46.0190) in vinyl pouch. Priced lower than when tools are purchased separately…and the pouch is free! Not for production work. Great for general use and for students where price is a factor.

Jewelry makers use pliers to hold and shape metals they use to make jewelry. As these are an everyday jewelry making tool, it is wise for the jewelry maker to buy the best they can afford. Jewelry making pliers are usually made from metal, storing them in a dry place guarantees years of rust-free use.
No Mar Surface Pliers

Keep in mind that even well-cared for pliers can inadvertently scratch metal wire or sheet during use. Most of these scratches can be completely removed from sterling silver and karated gold during the finishing and polishing processes. To reduce the scratching problem, many jewelry makers use a fixturing compound to coat their pliers with a no-mar surface. Some pliers are made using plastic jaws.

Basic Jewelry Making Pliers

Every jewelry makers tool bench should include flat, round and bent chain-nose pliers:

* Flat-nose pliers have jaws that are – no surprise – flat at contact point. Use them to close prongs, for metal-forming, straightening and flattening out metal. Use two sets of flat-nose pliers to open and close jump ring, although it easier to just use jump-ring pliers.
* Round-nose plier jaws look like a tapered cone. Use these pliers as the first step in making wrapped loops or eye pins and French ear wires.
* Bent chain-nose plier tips are angled allowing jewelry makers to get into tight areas, which other pliers can’t reach. They also have many different jewelry making uses such as flat crimping and making angled bends in wire.

SOLDERING TORCH PREST O PAK SILVERSMITH WITH 1 TIP

Permits mixing of acetylene with air at the torch head, so no other source of air is necessary. The acetylene is stored in tanks as a liquid and only becomes a gas when valve is opened. The silversmith outfit (No. 14.236) includes: torch handle, 1 light flame tip, regulator for “B” tank, and a 6′ (183 cm) hose with fittings. Uses “B” tank. Shipping weight 5 lb. (2.3 kg).

If you are unable to put the solder under the piece at the seam, you will need to use your solder pick to move the solder in place after you have heated up your piece.

Trouble shooting. If solder does not flow, it usually results from one of three problems. 1) Check to be sure the seam fits flush. 2) Check to be sure the seam is very, very clean. This is especially important if you tired to solder and the solder did not flow; often the solder is not flowing because the seam is oxidized. 3) Be sure your heat the entire piece evenly before you concentrate your heat to make the solder flow at the seam.

Always work with proper ventilation.

Be sure to work on a fire safe, metal surface.

Be sure to have a fire extinguisher handy when working with a torch.

Use gloves when working with chemicals.

Always neutralize acid pickle with baking soda before disposing.

Household items used for jewelry making should never be returned to household use after being exposed to chemicals.

CASTING INVESTMENT 25 LB PACK

Formulation contains a de-foamer blended right into the material. Gives you low rise when vacuuming, a wider water usage range for greater yield and flexibility, easier removal of air bubbles on wax pattern surfaces and a more free-flowing mix. Molds will have extra strength. Exacting details can be reproduced and break-out accomplished more easily. Complete technical information and specifications are included.

Investment casting is an industrial process based on and also called lost-wax casting, one of the oldest known metal-forming techniques. From 5,000 years ago, when beeswax formed the pattern, to today’s high-technology waxes, refractory materials and specialist alloys, the castings allow the production of components with accuracy, repeatability, versatility and integrity in a variety of metals and high-performance alloys. Lost foam casting is a modern form of investment casting that eliminates certain steps in the process.

The process is generally used for small castings, but has been used to produce complete aircraft door frames, steel castings of up to 300 kg and aluminum castings of up to 30 kg. It is generally more expensive per unit than die casting or sand casting, but has lower equipment costs. It can produce complicated shapes that would be difficult or impossible with die casting, yet like that process, it requires little surface finishing and only minor machining.

CASTING MATT JEWELRY DESIGN TEMPLATE SET

Set of seven heavy gauge plastic templates for custom jewelry design. Includes round, oval, baguette, emerald, marquise and pear stone shapes, as well as templates for ring and setting designs. Stone templates show metric sizes and carat weights.

Cardboard jewelry boxes are very useful when you have to go on a business trip and you need something to store your precious pieces of jewelry in. They are sturdy enough to withstand the whole trip, but not as bulky as your regular jewelry box.

There are ready-made cardboard jewelry boxes available in your local department stores or craft shops, but you can always choose to make your own jewelry box. Yes, there are DIY projects that will help you do this. It’s fun, economical and very easy to make.

Perhaps you have accumulated piles of cardboard from gift boxes over the holidays. Why not turn them into cardboard jewelry boxes in a few simple steps? You can make more use of your cardboard boxes instead of just throwing them away.

Really, you don’t have to be a creative genius to make a jewelry box. After all, there are sites on the World Wide Web where you can find jewelry box templates that you can readily download or print. You can enlarge the template according to your desired size. Then paste the template over the cardboard box. Usually the template comes with solid lines and dotted lines. Cut along the solid lines and fold over the dotted lines, and that’s basically it — you now have an improvised jewelry box.

If you do not like how it looks, you can embellish it anyway you like. Ribbons, fabrics, beads or whatever bling-blings can be added to your jewelry box to make it more attractive. You can also line the interior with soft material or you can stuff it with cotton to protect your pieces of jewelry.

As you can see, it does not take a long time to make this project at all, and the best thing is that you don’t have to spend a fortune for the perfect jewelry box.

GRIFFITH PASTE FLUX 8 OZ GRIFFLUX 1

A hard soldering paste flux for use on all ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys.

Reliable solder connections can only be accomplished with clean surfaces. Using solvents and abrasives to clean the surfaces to be soldered is essential if you are to achieve good solder connections. In almost all cases, however, this cleaning process is insufficient because oxides form rapidly on heated metal surfaces. The rapid formation of oxides creates a nonmetallic film that prevents solder from contacting the metal. Good metal-to-metal contact must be obtained before good soldering joints may take place. Flux removes these surface oxides from metals to be soldered and keeps them removed during the soldering operation. Flux chemically breaks down surface oxides and causes the oxide film to loosen and break free from the metals being soldered. Soldering fluxes are divided into three classifications or groups: CHLORIDE FLUX (commonly called ACID), ORGANIC FLUX, and ROSIN FLUX. Each flux has characteristics specific to its own group. Chloride fluxes are the most active of the three groups. They are effective on all common metals except aluminum and magnesium. Chloride fluxes, however, are NOT suitable for electronic soldering because they are highly corrosive, electrically conductive, and are difficult to remove from the soldered joint. Organic fluxes are nearly as active as chloride fluxes, yet are less corrosive and easier to remove than chloride fluxes. Also, these fluxes are NOT satisfactory for electronic soldering because they must be removed completely to prevent corrosion

NORTON EMERY PAPER 9X13 3 4 GRIT 3

In sheet size 9″ x 13 3/4″ (22 x 34 cm). Grit 4/0 is the finest and 3 is the coarsest.180 mesh.

Emery paper is a type of paper that can be used for sanding down hard and rough surfaces. It can also be used for resistant technology purposes to give a smooth, shiny finish to manufactured products and is often used in the finishing of high-end watch movements. Similar to sandpaper, it is made by gluing small particles of the mineral emery (also called iron spinel or hercynite) to paper.

Buy/More Info

Emery cloth is a type of abrasive that has emery glued to a cloth backing. It is commonly used in metalworking by hand. A finer, less commonly seen grade has a paper backing instead.

Grades
The grade of the cloth defines the coarseness or fineness of the abrasive. Emery is rated on the average grain size glued to the backing. Common sizes are, from coarse to fine: 40, 46, 54, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, F, and FF. A 46 or 54 grade cloth is used on roughly filed work, while 60 to 90 grade cloth will give a good polish.

STAINLESS STEEL PLIER FLAT NOSE

LightweigHt stainless steel work pliers have smooth jaws and are completely rust proof. Polished heads prevent marking soft metals. Cushion grip handles. Overall length is 5″.

Buy/More Info

Pliers metal. There are two options available, stainless steel and hardened tool steel pliers. Stainless steel is rust resistant, offering a reasonable bench life. However, the surface condition of the nose has to be monitored and maintained as needed as it will eventually start showing nicks. Stainless steel pliers cannot be forged.

Hardened tool steel is the preferred metal for pliers as it is the hardest, strongest, and longest-lasting material for pliers. These pliers are forged for durability. Work done with these pliers requires less finishing as the nose is not prone to nicking with normal use, therefore producing cleaner work. A major drawback, though, is that the hardened tool steel pliers are prone to rusting. However, taking good care of your pliers, not exposing them to moisture, keeping them lubricated, and wiping them occasionally with a rust inhibitor like Cosmoline or WD-40, can deal with this problem.

Tips on caring for your tools:
Before using brand new tools for the first time, a good precaution is to prepare the tools first. This is done by using a fine sanding stick to soften the edges of the pliers’ nose. A second step is to shine up the surface of the nose that will be making contact with the jewelry metal. The reason for these two important steps is to ensure that new tools do not accidentally leave marks on the silver during the fabrication process.

Jewelers use Cotton Gloves to protect jewelry and silverware from fingerprints, spotting, and tarnishing. Used extensively in jewelry stores and manufacturing facilities. Economical 100% cotton gloves are super-thin. Also great under heavy-duty gloves.
Cotton Gloves – Used in manufacturing plants as well as jewelry stores. Available in men’s and women’s sizes. Sold by pair

Gloves are used to prevent skin contact with a hazard, whether physical (like a razor edge on a piece of metal), or chemical (such as an alkaline solution like you get when mixing casting investment). Use the correct type of gloves for the chemical you are using. Not all gloves hold up to the same things so consult a chart to see which ones are suitable to which chemicals. Edwards comments on this in her paper. Even if you have the right kind of glove material for the intended use, be aware that a glove has a life span, and eventually even the chemicals it is resistant to will be able to pass through the material to contact your hand. Consult your local safety supply company catalog for their current recommendations as to which gloves for which chemicals. Use the right glove material. Employers in industry often mismatch the glove type and chemical hazard inadvertently-and you don’t want to do that to yourself if you are self-employed (Kornberg 94). This is another important reason to try and limit the chemicals and solvents you are working with in the first place. Then you don’t even have to deal with any glove/chemical matching problems. Gloves, like clothing that protects against chemicals may be made from natural rubber, synthetic rubber, neoprene, vinyl, polypropylene and polytheylene films as well as fabrics coated with these. For the best protection you are looking for a long break-through time, a low permeation rate and little degradation when exposed to the materials you are worried about.

Features
For handling finished jewelry items. Protects jewelry and silverware from fingerprints. Also used in quality control departments.
