Sawing & Ring Sizing Support — Wooden Bench Pin with Cutting Jig & V-Slot

Good sawing is mostly good support — the blade wants the work held firm right up to the cut line. The V-slot in this wooden bench pin does exactly that for piercing, ring sizing and fine cutting, backing the metal on both sides of the blade so cuts stay clean and controlled rather than chattering. If piercing is new to you, our guide to using a jeweller's saw is the place to start.

It clamps to the bench edge in moments, and the solid wood is kind to saw blades — the pin takes the wear so the blade and the work do not. The sort of fixture a jeweller uses all day without once thinking about it.
