Secure your rings while

you work on them with ease, versatility and precision by using the GRS® ID Ring

Holder. Simply secure the ring holder in any GRS® bench block or any common bench

vise to achieve consistent support for the holder. This ring holder is portable, and a great alternative to bulkier and more expensive alternatives in the market.   The

ID Ring Holder is a good economical option when users need a simple,

functional, and quality work-holding solution.   The use of the standard expansion cone and

the locking expansion cones allows the user to hold the ring in an immobile

position or you can adjust it to allow any degree of rotation as you are

working at your bench/workstation.  These

expansion cones will ensure that the entire circumference of the mandrel is

properly placed as it grips the inside diameter of the ring being worked on.

The standard cone, with

its smooth surface design, helps the user adjust the expansion to allow either

a small amount of rotation or free rotation of the workpiece while you are setting

stones or engraving the ring surface. The locking cone creates a unique locking

action that provides an unmoving platform for raising beads, stone setting or

pavé setting.

 This

ID Ring Holder is not compatible with GRS BenchMate but see the Stone Setter’s

Package for either BenchMate Encore for a compatible ID Ring Holder

fixture.
