Jewellers Basic Sawing Techniques

Check out the new Diamond Mounter merch!
cbilton.creator-spring.com In this video I briefly explain a few sawing techniques that will be useful for anyone beginning their journey in to the world of jewellery making.
I may return with another video on this as i have many more tips and tricks in mind for those who already have some experience and want to further their saw piercing skills.
The channel has potential to grow in to a great archive of jewellers knowledge with your help.
With patrons support I will be able to offer far more information than I am currently able to.
With over 2 decades of knowledge gained in the jewellery trade working with some of the best diamond mounters in the UK I can train practitioners of jewellery making, up to and far beyond the skill level found in High Street jewellers workshops.
I have been lucky enough to have been taught by actual Bond Street shop model makers and my ambition is to share what I have learned through out my career to as many people as possible.
My vehicle to do this is the Diamond Mounter KZread channel and now after nearly 1 year of uploading video guides, its time to take it up a level.
My ambition is to be able to make instructional videos with not just silver, but gold and platinum also. Some proper jewellers soldering equipment will enable me to create much more special pieces too! This will open up a whole new world of information I have to share.
There are many specific methods and techniques used for the different precious metals and knowledge about gemstones I can teach that will never enter my videos unless I am actually working with them.

There is now a new entry level tier which costs just £1 a month.
Its named the supporter tier which allows you to support the channel with out any substantial financial obligation. I will thank you personally on the next Diamond Mounter video uploaded!
I hope you will consider becoming a patron.
Thank you,
C.Bilton
With this channel I will share with you the methods and techniques I have learned over the previous 23 years as a professional Jeweller. I specialise in high end bespoke pieces made the old fashioned way by hand.
I wish to document everything I know and make accessible to everyone rare skills and techniques only usually taught in high security jewellers workshops.

    You say don’t cut a v in your bench peg. Can I ask what, if anything, you do to prepare a new bench peg?

    question, how often should i expect blades to break? i cant tell if its just the nature of the sawblades to break all the time, or if its misuse. thanks again, i hope for you that this channel grows!

    Thanks! The blades are very hard metal and so are brittle. They dont like being twisted or bent. Maybe try with the stronger ones like 3/0 or 2/0 size. Hold the piece securely so there is no movement. Wax the blade and check your grip. You shouldn't have to push and pull with lots of strength

    if you file with a LIGHT grip and aren't switching between metals - then not all that often. When you are first learning - expect to break about 4/hr. I teach the finger and thumb holding technique to my students. Yes, you end up using more than that to control the saw, but if you START there, you only end up using the other fingers for a more control.
