Here is another way to hold your work with the GRS Benchmate from @sunandselene - “I was bezel setting stones that needed some extra support so was working with my thermoplastic. Molded the JettBasic to the ring and then to the bench mate/ring clamp and when I hardened it, realized it didn’t fit quite right into the ring clamp to hold tight and kept slipping. I took the whole ring clamp part out of the benchmate and used it as a holder instead - it worked so well!! The base is just wide enough to sit the piece in and sturdy enough to burnish the bezel like normal.“ Thank you for sharing this! I love my Benchmate and never thought about using it this way! I love seeing work holding solutions, send me yours if you want to share with our community!
