Now that’s a hard ball pen that does write on medal
Great informative video.Thank you so much.
thank you, really helpful
Thank you
Cool, amazing video!
another well made tutorial :)
Hi, Scott. I stumbled across your video while searching for information on what kind of magnification power I need in order to spot defects in coins. I was ready to tear my hair out with all the "10X"..."12X"..."20X"...and all the way up to "60X" or more magnification levels in jewelry loupes. Never mind "single lenses", "double lenses" and "triple lenses" that didn't mean a thing to someone like me. Thank you for making my life suddenly easier, especially with showing the difference in where one would have to hold a viewed item as well as what that viewed item would look like when using a 10X versus a 20X magnifier! SEEING the differences are so much better than just hearing the words. I'm now going to look for a 10X triplet. :) Also...SUBSCRIBED! :)
Do you have a video of how to use the boiler grobet by any chance? They have all manuals out there except for the boiler unit.
Sorry, we don't stock the standard Grobet boiler steamer, but we do have a video on the Reimer's unit we do handle here kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGVt2ttqkbvAZqg.html and here kzread.info/dash/bejne/pKapqpVvo5nLiqQ.html
I'm not seeing this model on your site. Is it discontinued ?
Yep, it's discontinued. Sorry about that, but we have a different version here www.fdjtool.com/ProductInfo/BT1315.aspx
merci beaucoup :)
It's a cool tool, but too small
Hi, there is now a 6" version here www.fdjtool.com/ProductInfo/SH915.aspx
Thanks for the video! Just bought one to use in my coin ring making business an am waiting for it to arrive. I was concerned about pressure and volume of steam but your video laid those concerns to rest. I am hoping that with ultrasonic, steam and electro cleaning, my select pen plating quality will increase. Thanks again! Flipforitrings.etsy.com
Great video! I learned something and it also made me lol.
Thank you. That was very helpful.
where i find this case wrench?
You can find watch wrenches here www.fdjtool.com/Category/1507_1/For_Screw_Backs.aspx
You should have mentioned at the very beginning there are some watches without notches. I watched the whole video and it was basically useless to me since my watch is notch-less.
where can I get that specific model??
Sorry, the tool in the video is no longer available. We are also disappointed.
finally a video that is easy to follow
where can I purchase this equipment AGT 3 Gold tester.
You can find the AGT3 on our web site here www.fdjtool.com/ProductInfo/TS2007.aspx
EXCELLENT EXPLANATION, THANKS
Complimenti !!!!!!!!
Thank you.
FDJtool: How much does it cost , Where (what web is sale)? thank you so much!
The link to our web site in in the above description. Or you can go here www.fdjtool.com/ProductInfo/DR300.aspx
I'm trying to research info about my loupe cause I want to know if it is a triplet but can't find it, it's a LDD Diamonds loupe
Sorry, I can 't help with this. It sounds like a company has just imprinted their name on a loupe which is a common practice for advertising
hinges always go first through the machine, not only one the folder, but also the platform. Also, there is one side that says it should go on the bottom (i.e. the platform). ;) This side is up in the video. Easy to overlook when you're busy explaining. :) Otherwise nice video ;) love the lighting, too.
We have a flex tool with the 3 prong bit holder for the hand tool. It's made by euro tool. The entire bit piece has fallen out and won't stay in. It doesn't look like it's broken in anyway but the entire bit keeps falling out. (The piece where the chuck goes into to tighten). Is it magnetized or something? Please help
The Jacob's chuck isn't seated correctly in the handpiece. I would check with your supplier, but I have been told that it can usually be set back in place using a rawhide or rubber mallet. I can't attest one way or the other that it works having never tried it myself, but a jeweler has told me that's how he was told to fix his.
What I like to know is how much is the Tumblr and do you get everything with it the one you demonstrated and does it clean rings with diamonds in it it will not harm the diamond
You can find tumblers on our web site be following the link in the description above. Tumblers are not for cleaning. They don't remove dirt and grease. They polish by abrading away metal. If that is what you are wanting you can put stones with diamonds into a tumbler, but beware! Loose stones can easily get knocked out and worse, diamonds with flaws can be broken by the action of the media.
Very helpful video , thanks .
can i use this on leather?
This tool isn't for use on leather.
do you have a tool that i could use to engrave on leather?
Sorry no, we stock primarily tools for working on metal.
Triple refined www.fdjtool.com/ProductInfo/BT1048.aspx
Thanks for tip
Wow! I agree, once you have everything in place to open the case back: with a firm pressure then slowly turn counter-clockwise to open the back. Remember, do no harm! Scott knows what he's talking about, so please listen to him if you wish to do thing correctly.
Will the light last a long time and is the light replaceable. I almost bought the Ottlite because I checked it out and I really like the way it magnified and illuminated small items, but the reviews say that it dies out quickly and once replaced the same thing happens. Thanks for the review.
LEDs should have a lifespan of at least 10's of thousands of hours if not more. There is currently no replacement for the LEDs since, according to the warehouse, there hasn't been a need to stock them.
where do I buy it?
There is a link in the above description to our web site. There you can purchase a similar model.
wait where are you going Scott. come back. which triple should I buy? I want to see detail and correct coloring with no glare. I have to be able to know the gems and their colors. I need to read markings on the rings.
You should buy the triplet you can afford. We have a variety of them on our web site here www.fdjtool.com/Category/1898_1/Triplets_Loupes.aspx Get the biggest lens you can. That way you will have the biggest field of view making it much easier to see things even if there is some distortion around the edges.
can you use it on wood
Not as it is. First, the diamond bits are the wrong bits for wood. Second, this tool has low torque even with the right bits, it would be good just for surface etching, not deep gouging.
Thanks for the very instructive video! Do you know how to make our own testing solutions? or where to buy refills?
You can find chemical refills on our web site www.fdjtool.com
How do I know which way I look through the loupe or does it matter?
It doesn't matter which way you look through the loupe.
Very clear video. Thank you. I do wish it mentions a bit about maintenance, if any. He mentions not to use it when water runs out, but how could one tell when water runs out (until no steam comes when pressed)? And, how do I drain the water from the unit for storage or transport? Do I just wriggle it upside-down after I unscrew the cap?
You are actually correct on both accounts. You will know when the water level is getting low, when the pressure of the steam begins to decrease and sputter. If you wish to drain the unit, cool it completely before unscrewing the fill cap. Turn it upside down over the sink to drain. The unit is way less than 10lbs so it's not difficult to handle.
coult you fit .125 plastic in there, like how much clearance does the area the die have to fit material in there? could you potentially fit for instance a sheet of 1/4" plastic in there ,or would that be too thick to fit?
If you leave zero room you can squeeze a ¼” sheet into the gap, however, doing so would most likely put a scratch in the surface as there is a tiny nub of the punch that sticks down. If it were me I would go a hair smaller than ¼” just to be safe.
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped me to decide which magnification of optivisor to purchase.
I have a 3A. How much shot should I use? I have only 1 pound now and know I need to purchase more. Do you recommend 2lbs or 3 lbs?
The 3A tumbler can hold a maximum of 3lb total (shot, water and workpieces). Having 2lbs of media is generally a good amount since that leaves you plenty of leeway for the water and pieces to tumble. Just make sure that the 2lbs of media doesn't fill the barrel more that 3/4 of the way.
Thanks Scott. Info and demo much appreciated. Loved the outake.
Your videos are ALWAYS so helpful! thanks.
Thanks for your video! a huge help!
I do permanent make up. Which one should I buy please?
Everyone is different. As stated in the video, you will need to figure out which one you will need by finding what working distance is comfortable for you. Work on your subject comfortably and measure the distance from your eyes to them and buy the Optivisor that most closely has that focal length.
Great demo, Good Job!!!
Where can you get one and how much? Saw Nutt'n Fancy's channel do this and go over it with a silver Sharpy Marker on non metal magazines.
There is a link to our web site in the description above for the model we currently stock.
It says here it cuts up to 18 gauge metal but the website and other sites carrying this tool say 20 gauge is the max. Can it cut 18 gauge?
The video is for PEPE's previous model of 4" shear. Their new, redesigned shear works just the same, they now recommend a maximum thickness of 20ga when cutting
do you have to calibrate with 14k when takeing out of box or can you calibrate with 22k ?
When calibrating, you do have to use a piece that is 14K plumb gold.
