Tools
and
Supplies
This page is just to show you what my saw looks like, and
the special made bench I
use.
Tools:
All coins are "Hand Cut" with a
Jewelers saw. These are not manufactured, or made with a machine in
any way.
If
you look real close, you will see the blade in the picture. There
are many sizes of Jewlers Sawblades. I normally use a 3/0, 4/0, or
5/0 blade. The small ball thing you see in the picture is "Bees Wax"
to lubricate the sawblade while cutting.
This is the custom made cutting bench I use to
cut the coins. The Vise has a "V" shape to hold the coins, and is
foot pedal operated. I use a swivel chair to get in and out easily.
There is shelves for various tools and drills, as well as places to
hang all other supplies I need for making a necklace. It is a very
efficient setup.
This is a picture of me cutting coins at my
bench.
Supplies:
All coins cut by me include
a "free" necklace, or keychain (specify
choice).
