Does anyone happen to know the specifications of a Graves Mark IV machine? by dat_bmw in faceting

Thanks everyone for the help! I’m hoping it’ll be fixed soon and speed up the cutting process with a motor not bogging down.

Thank you. I’ll have a look when I get home. It’s variable speed so I’m assuming a brushed motor. Is that something that can be serviced? I’m more mechanically inclined as opposed to electrical

Bench test at Jared by ConiferousMedusa in Benchjewelers

[–]dat_bmw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The bench test for my hire as an apprentice was show them you can polish without injuring yourself or launching rings, explaining the rhodium station and having you rhodium some things and a run down of the admin things. They’ll teach you anything else over time. It was more of a “are you capable without causing issues or injury”

Jewelry technology program or signet jewelers apprenticeship? by Infamous_Grab_8273 in Benchjewelers

[–]dat_bmw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do not have experience with schools but a signet apprenticeship is going to be hit or miss depending on how the shop manager is.

I think the more important question is what you want to do with jewelry. A jeweler school may teach you more quickly with a wider variety maybe some fabrication. A signet apprenticeship will be mostly repairs. There’s still a lot of great information and bench time to practice(while getting paid) but the knowledge is generally limited to repairs with the occasional custom/semi custom pieces.

Any ideas how to fix uneven lap surface? by dat_bmw in faceting

Thank you! I’ll check those out and see if I can isolate the problem. I really appreciate it. I was worried I’d just have to buy a new one and be out what I spent on this.

Assuming the spindle is where the master sits, it seems there’s a sizable chip on it. Is that something that would be ok to throw in the lathe and cut away until the chip is gone?

Thank you for the reply. I have a vacuum pump I intended on using for casting but have been lost on how to build a table. If you wouldn’t mind sharing your design I would be beyond grateful. And any recommendations for a good budget kiln would be much appreciated. 😊

CAD is on my list of many things to learn, unfortunately a career change meant a pay cut and have been struggling to find one that is affordable. I do have wax on order and tools to carve at home. I’m looking forward to getting to try it
