Your bezels look really clean. Do you put anything under the stones to raise them in the bezel?

Thx for the great comments and taking the time to reply.
Starguy I don’t raise the stone with any thing I use 1/8 inch bezel material and I try hard to get my gridle cut to a1/16” so it fits down with minimal bezel to push over.
I’m slowly learning and getting the hang of it all the grinding and silver work and the scrap pile is big. Thanks for looking.

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
