Jeweling Tool
Fig. 182 illustrates Hutchinson's Automatic Jeweling Tool. To cut a setting for a jewel, place tool in tail-stock and taper in head of lathe, and see that corner of cutter E comes to center. If it does not, turn screw D back or forward until it comes to the center. Now drill hole half as large as the jewel you wish to set; then place jewel in slot A, and bring index finger over until jewel is tight in slot A, being careful to have jewel in center of slot and not to one side. Now turn set screw C up tight and tool will cut setting exact size.
