Here is tip for hammer setting from @juneshin - “I wanted to share this tool I use to do hammer setting. I wasn't ready to invest in a hammer handpiece, but definitely wanted to make hammer setting easier. So I bought a Dremel engraver for around $30 vs the $100+ for a Foredom and it works great! It is loud, so I recommend wearing ear plugs while using it. I bought a 1/8" brass rod from home depot, cut and polished a piece and I use that instead of the tip that's provided. I'm guessing you can use anvil points designed for hammer handpieces, or create a bunch of tips to do creative textures as well! Something to try and experiment with! :)” This is such an awesome tip! Thank you for sharing with us!!
