0/ Cover the surface of the item with black marker so you can see any guidelines easily. 1/ Use a 50 cent hose clamp to attach the handpiece to the router table. 2/ Clamp the assembly into a vise to hold the whole thing still. 3/ Do the work. This allows me to use both hands ... and I never have to worry about slicing myself or having any change in alignment while I'm working.
I usually do this task with a saw blade. Very cool jig you got there. Also, another trick for getting the screw off a sanding mandrel it to put a screw driver, or ongolette (what i use) and put your flex shaft in reverse if you have that option. It spins it right out.
Thank you so much for this explanation. Channel setting is on my list of things to try, and this was a great demonstration. You mention using a square file, but the file in the video is rectangle. Do you mind clarifying this?
Also I'm thinking of how a bearing puller works, and I wonder if there's something I can hack to hold a ring from the inside so's not to cut myself or get burned from the friction heat.
thanks for this. You mentioned a video about making the high low band. But I can't find it. I'm wondering how you did make that? I'd like to make one myself, but am not sure if I should solder the part on top and how thick a piece of silver I should use. Tips would be welcome. Thanks. and keep up the good work. Very informative. I especially like the images that explain the science behind it.
Just realized you have created basically a router. Dang get some one to design edging bits to detail the outside rim of the rings with more detail than just the traditional round over
I’m sure that Joel can easily do this by hand. This is a demo video for students of the craft…so that students can learn about new innovations which simplify traditional (and yes, more technically difficult) methods. Everyone has different ways of getting the work done…this is simply a helpful “hack” which is more accessible for people working on their skills. Nobody starts at master level, we all gather tips along the way which help hone our craftsmanship in order to reach our goals. You prefer the other channel? Fine- go learn from his methods. Best of luck, we’ll look for your work at next year’s Spectrum awards

I am a professional setter for 20 years. I had never considered using a separating disc this way. Looks sound. Thank you for sharing.
Joel, that was one of the best and most innovative ideas. Thank you.
Many thanks, a very helpful video. I guess this could be done using a miniature metal-turning lathe. I can't afford one, so I'll try your method.
Master, you're like a diamond, so I'm glad I found you here 😀

Thx Joel. Exactly what I needed to learn today! Cool!!
Holy cats, thanks to being the plumber on the farm, I think I have all I need to make one of those tools.
Thx soo much for sharing ideas!
Thanks Joel! I have been wanting to do a channel setting and didn't know how to. I can't cut a straight line.
Very educational. Thank you.👍
BRILLIANT!
Very Clever!
If you add a fence like a table saw across the wheel you can control the depth of the groove and have more control of spinning the ring
The part from Gesswein for the cut off discs is 845 1050 the direct link is in the description.

Cool info. Do you have the name of the wax tool and link to where I might find one? Thank you!
Drill a hole through table attachment, thread it and use a grub screw to tighten on to hand piece.
This can easily be made just by sawing. But the tool can be used for other things. Thanks.

Hose clamp or set screw instead of tape
Thanks Joel!

Do you have a link for the jig you mention?
Hi were do yo buy your protective goggles please.
Diamond Mounter channel guy would just do this by hand with no fancy tools. Just up your skill level !

Why don't you put a hose clamp around it instead of tape
Great trick. All that metal dust however made me uncomfortable, I hope you usually wear a mask.
I have learned to keep it from flying near me. But Your right you should wear a mask.
