Claw setting by hand?

I wouldn't be without my hammer handpiece, makes setting so much easier.
Especially gold, that can be a nightmare by hand.
Fine silver is ok though, I don't use it on fine silver bezels but I almost always use it with gold.

Hi Sarah,
Do you use your hammer handpiece on a standard SR pendant motor or do you have the LX high torque low speed motor for it? I'm thinking of getting one for the same reasons you mention but have heard they can burn out on the SR if over sped.

Just the normal one Tim, you do have to be careful not to run it too fast but so far I haven't had any problems.
Having said that if I had two pendant motors I would definitely get one of each.

Thanks Sarah,
Good to know I can get the handpiece first and the LX motor when funds allow

Its a different handpiece for each motor Tim, I looked into getting the LX motor to run my hammer handpiece on but I have the one for the SR so would have to buy another one for the LX.
