Here is a work holding tip from @kristalavonasdesigns - “I use Jet Set ballistic with the aluminum t plate that came with my GRS ring clamp to set most of my bezels. This was the first really good piece of equipment I bought outside of a flex shaft and I still set almost all of my bezels this way.” Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I’d love to see photos of people’s setting set ups and soldering setups! Please email me pictures like Krista did! I’d be super grateful!!
