Tool list
The jewelers tools can be neverending, we can continue adding as many tools as we can afford. For the basic jobs though. I can be adding as needed accordingly. As well as pictures. Don't forget that the safety equipment first, goggles, masks, proper ventilation, first aid kit, gloves, air filters, and fire extinguisher. A sink to wash face or rinse eyes is recommended.
- Your Dremel flex shaft hand piece with chuck doesn't matter what brand, Foredom is the Mercedes for these. Vevor isn't bad but not as smooth, gets the job done. Also I hung mine up top on piping screwed onto bench from a plumbing store so the handpiece is at grabbing level while sitting.
- Lighting is key I like using two lamps at different angles for light to reflect best off of the metal. Blue or white in color.
- Rolling mill with both flat and square rollers, these can get expensive but a cheap one can work.
- Bench and pin
- I use propane and oxygen with hoses, torch piece, and regulators, there's mini versions that use disposable tanks
- The propane and oxygen tank, there's small disposable ones
- Alcohol and boric acid mixed
- Sparex solution for your mini crockpot
- Mini crockpot and copper tongs
- Aquaflux for welding
- Your dust collector with buffing motor
- The polishing pastes for the buffer, Zam green and grey
- Buffing pads and felt wheels with tube for sides and insides of rings. Triple bird wheel for high polish
- Ultrasonic cleaner mini will work
- Cleaning solution, your choice, I use ammonia with small special lid container.
- Steam cleaner of your choice, I use a small one
- Saw frame of your choice with 3/0 and 4/0 size saws
- Every kind of pliers you can think of, round nosed, square end and round, long ones, and any you see fit for yourself.
- Mandrel is the metal ring sizing stick but the word is also used to describe a Dremel bit piece.
- Tweezers
- Solder shears
- Solder pics
- Soldering plate, some kits include this
- Sanding discs and rollers 300 and 600 grit, 800 is nice too
- Needle files of different grits
- Hand files which there are different shapes and grits depending on what you feel comfortable with.
- From below this list are tools for higher complexity jobs
- Ring bender with pieces
- Air compressed engravers with chucks and graver bits of all ends for different finishes
- Dremel bits and burrs for stone setting and prong cup burs
- Cylinder burrs and different angled degree burrs.
- Vise grips
- Wire drawing plate made out of tungsten
- Watch button batteries kit of all sizes with wrench for twist backs and a back clamper for ones that aren't to get the lid back on. Water proof seal rubbers.
- Electroplating equipment and solutions
- Stovetop burner with magnetic stirrer
- Acetone and nail polish 💅 your choice of color, red works ok easy to see.
- If your getting a laser welder then you'll need the wire for it, 28 gauge also 24,26, depending on task.
