Stone setting with a hammer hand piece by
William Black
I've always set stones with a pusher.

So, I'm looking at a hammer type handpiece for...

Spring-bar holes by
Carl
What's the trick or special tool for drilling the holes for spring-bars
in the lugs of a wris****ch?
All the tools I have at hand will leave me with a hole that's canted
out, not pointed at the other hole.
Or do you through-drill 'em and fill from the outside?
