Thanks for the info! Couple of more questions. I have an older Horia Staking & Jeweling set. You would think that the pushers and anvils would be the same. Are your base & spindle measurements exactly 3mm & 4mm? My anvils are 4.9mm and pushers are 3.9mm. I was really hoping to buy the tool you have and use my existing pushers and anvils. I guess not.
Thanks again,
Chris

Chris, the force required to seat a jewel is not really great. The action of the threads is more than enough. It really is the best tool as you can easily adjust the position of a jewel by .01 or .02 mm confidently.

Hello,
This is an interesting tool for jeweling. Is there no need for a lever to force or press the jewel into place?
If so, I guess the micrometer head threads are strong enough to withstand the force?
Thanks!
