Stonesetting: Channel Setting Tip

Channel Setting Tip

When channel setting it is of utmost importance to cut a precise seat.  If the stone fits loosely in the seat it will be difficult to tighten and problems will develop during the setting process.

Place rings on a steel mandrel when channel setting rather than holding in a ring clamp.  This will provide the needed support when hammering.
