Help on the bench

KEEP CUTTING LUBRICANT CLOSE AT HAND:

Before using your jeweller's saw or a burr in your flex shaft, it is important to run it through lubricant wax to increase the life of your tools. To make this quick, burr out a decent size hole in the side of your bench pin and using a torch melt the edge of your wax and drip it into the hole. Once it's dry it's a quick move to run your saw blade through it with one simple motion before getting to work!

PREVENT SAW BLADE BREAKAGE
When creating a piercing in sheet metal it is best to hold your saw somewhat loosely without giving up control. This will allow you to feel when the blade is too taught or caught on something letting you know to pull back a tad and re-enter your cut. This will help you not break saw blades.

SIMPLE JUMP RING CUTTING

Keep wooden dowels around for cutting jump rings. Take your desired thickness wire and wrap around the dowel tightly and closely, then saw through- If the rings aren't snug, wrap an appropriate length of masking tape around the dowel. It takes some fiddling, but well worth a minute or two to set up. The wood shavings can be burnt out easily for re melting. With the dowel clamped in a vice and a bucket underneath, you can cut many jump rings at a time without tiring out your "holding" hand completely.
