A Pin Vice is a very useful hand tool for a jeweller. It is used to hold small round section material and tools such as deburrers, taps, drills, reamers, scribers, wire and other small tools. The example shown opposite, has knurled surfaces, which provide a secure grip. The three jaw hardened steel keyless chuck, works as an effective clamp, holding the material / tool.

To make a needle drill bit, cut off a short piece of steel welding rod. Place the length of welding rod in the pin vice chuck. The end of the needle / welding rod can be sharpened on an oil stone, forming two flat surfaces . |
