Abstract
A wire coil stabilizer and saw guide for cutting jump rings from a coil of wire including a block with a half circle groove having a bottom slot for holding a coil of wire threaded on a jeweler's saw blade. A tracking plate with a slit aligned with the bottom slot for compressing the coil of wire in the groove and aligning a jeweler's saw blade with the coil of wire.
Claims10
A wire coil stabilizer and saw guide combination,
- said wire coil stabilizer comprising a block with a groove having a semi-circular bottom surface and side walls configured for receipt of a wire coil, a pin extending transverse to the groove and removably mounted to the side walls above the bottom surface of the groove and a tracking plate, wherein the tracking plate is slidably moveable within the groove to clamp a wire coil between the tracking plate and the removable pin, said tracking plate having an aperture flanked by legs configured to straddle and embrace the block, said tracking plate having a depending portion in the aperture configured to fit inside the groove;
- and,
- said saw guide comprising a slot in the bottom of the groove aligned with a slit with a closed top in the depending portion of the tracking plate when the depending portion of the tracking plate is in the groove, wherein said slit and slot are configured to accommodate a jeweler's saw blade with a coil of wire threaded on the blade for cutting the coil of wire from the inside to form jump rings.
A wire coil stabilizer and saw guide combination,
- said wire coil stabilizer comprising a rectangular block with side faces that are equal in size and parallel to each other and end faces that are parallel to each other and top and bottom elongated faces with a longitudinal groove having a semi-circular bottom surface and side walls in the top face opening to a first end face of said end faces, said groove configured for receipt of a wire coil, a pin extending transverse to the groove and removably mounted to the side walls above the bottom surface of the groove proximate the first end face, and a tracking plate wherein the tracking plate is slidably moveable within the groove to clamp a wire coil between the tracking plate and the removable pin, said tracking plate having an aperture flanked by legs configured to straddle and embrace the block, said tracking plate having a depending portion in the aperture configured to fit inside the groove;
- and,
- said saw guide comprising a slot in the bottom of the groove in the block aligned with a slit with a closed top in the depending portion of the tracking plate when the depending portion of the tracking plate is in the groove, wherein said slit and slot are configured to accommodate a jeweler's saw blade with a coil of wire threaded on the blade for cutting the coil of wire from the inside to form jump rings.
