Pumice wheels! (12 photos)

Pumice wheels come in two shapes; Tapered and Flat edge. I'm displaying how each of them can be used (safely).

These remarkable wheels come in many grits or textures. There are #180 grit, #240 grit, #400 and #600 including the (PINK) Polishing Wheel of #1,000 grit.

 I will use any "size, shape and grit" as the project requires. The main size is 7/8th of an inch.

Instead of using a file, I'll prefer to use my Pumice Wheel as it cleans and shapes the metal at once.

The Tapered edge gets inside of crevices with no effort whatsoever. This #180 grit wheel lightly grinds the metal as it's SLOWLY rotating. 

 The Flat edge is fantastic on the tips or tops of Bezels, but must be held at a 45 degree angle to ensure proper angular shaping.

 

 On the sides of a Princess Square stone setting, it is incumbent of the setter to retain the ring angles all through the Pumice wheel shaping processes.

  

 Even on the lower sides of the frame for the square stone the Flat faced wheel justifies the required buying needs of the Pumice Wheel.

 The Triangular file of #4 cut is still not good enough, I suggest the Pumice wheel of #180 grit to be used.

 

 The much softer #1,000 grit is best in the actual polishing, without any large cloth wheel polishing. Plus it constantly retains all of the many angles of the ring top.

 

 Have you not used the Pumice Wheel inside of the ring as being shown here? 

 

  How would you reshape the worn down Pumice Wheel? The answer is so darned easy just rub the wheel against any Emery or Separating Disk Wheel and the shape will return.

  Here are the many #180 grit wheels that I have on hand for any setting purpose.

 These #1,000 grit wheels are so great, as the soft wheel not only cleans as I mentioned, it avoids the needs of using any large cloth Rouging wheels. These large wheels can easily destroy all, or any edges of any ring, or shank.

 The Pumice wheels are your "close friends" during your setting projects. Enjoy the many good times in using them.
