Can I ask where you found those Dennis? I've been looking for a deeper set that will handle cabs as well for ages - edit - just found them at Euro
I use mine all the time. I don't push and rock, I just tap gently with a mallet, which seems to work for me. These are 3mm emeralds in 9ct, and took approximately 10 seconds to set using this technique. I set them rather deeper than usual as I was keeping them for myself and I'd managed to chip a previous pair that had been conventionally set. I find using any sort of pusher more difficult with smaller stones, perhaps because I don't have great sensation in my fingertips.
