The Jayne Redman® Rotational WorkRing System by Swanstrom was designed by Tim Sheriff of Swanstrom Tools USA in collaboration with Jeweler – Educator Jayne Redman.
Jayne’s Slider Clamps allow any size, shape, or thickness of material to be held securely within the 4.5” WorkRing of the Jayne Redman® Rotational WorkRing System or the 2.5” Large Ring Circle Clamp of the Swanstrom SawPlate System – (The Swanstrom SawPlate System is available through Rio Grande).
The plastic and stainless-steel thumb screws or Phillips head screws, included in the set, hold the material on one end while slots allow the clamp to slide freely between screws in the Ring, adjusting the proper holding distance.
Jayne’s Slider Clamps Large Set is available in the Tools Shop.
The Jayne Redman® Rotational WorkRing System by Swanstrom was designed by Tim Sheriff of Swanstrom Tools USA in collaboration with Jeweler – Educator Jayne Redman. The Complete Set includes the Rotational WorkRing Base with a 4.5” WorkRing, Swanstrom Circle Clamp Adaptor, and Hardware. The Rotational WorkRing Base with WorkRing, and the Clamp Adaptor, are available as separate sets.
To use the WorkRing, slide material under the thumb screws or Phillips head screws, then tighten by hand or with the Phillips head screwdriver provided. Muscle fatigue and soreness are eliminated as the WorkRing securely holds metal orother materials, such as wood and plastic, while you saw, carve, texture, engrave, set stones, or utilize other metalsmithingtechniques. The WorkRing rotates in a silicone lined depression allowing for smooth and accurate movement, or can be held stationary by turning the locking screw on the side, or screwing up into the Ring from the underside of the base. Easily attach or remove the WorkRing Base from a dovetail mounting plate on your bench. The WorkRing System is compatible with any dovetail method of attachment such as GRS®.
The Swanstrom Circle Clamp Adaptor holds any Circle Clamp that works with The Swanstrom SawPlate System. The Clamp Adaptor is attached to the WorkRing Base by screwing from the back through either of two holes in the Ring depression, and then into the Adaptor. The Swanstrom SawPlate System, Swanstrom SawPlate Circle Clamps, and Gary’s Clamp, are available exclusively through Rio Grande.
The ability to rotate your sawing surface is essential for making blanking (pancake) dies. The Jayne Redman® Rotational WorkRing System is the perfect tool for that task. Use the included spacer and socket head screw to add a Jayne Redman® DovetailAdaptor for rotation, or remove the dovetail cleats and screw directly into the dovetail adaptor. Attach the new Jayne Redman® Dovetail Mounting Plate to your bench and screw the WorkRing Base directly into it, eliminating the need of a dovetail adaptor for rotation.
The Jayne Redman® Rotational WorkRing System is available from the Tools Shop or Rio Grande.
The Jayne Redman® Wire and Tube Cutting Jig is the perfect tool for hands free measuring and cutting of a wide range of materials and dimensions. Move the Stop up or down the 6″ Jig body and screw down the knurled knob to set the length of material to be cut. A 2mm setback in the V Channel Insert allows material of a smaller gauge to slide under the Stop and not slip up when the wire is cut. The opposite side of the V Channel does not have a setback and is flush with the face. Slide the Stop off the Jig and rotate it so the knurled knob is on the left. You will now be able to cut small gauge material to less than 2mm in length. For smooth movement of the Stop, push from the center.
Use the saw guide left or right handed by unscrewing the Thumbscrew and inserting it into the Saw Guide from the opposite end. Rotate the Saw Guide with the V Channel on top and screw the Thumbscrew into the Jig, lining up the Stabilizing Plug in the adjacent hole. Remove the Saw Guide entirely to flush cut wire.
For Hands free use screw through the beveled hole in the upper left of the Jig and into your bench top. Or remove one of the screws from the Aluminum surface of your Jayne Redman® Rotational Bench Pin. Use it to screw directly through both the beveled hole in the upper left of the Jig and the Aluminum Surface into the Rotational base.
The Jayne Redman® Bench Accessory System allows you to combine components to create a custom tool organizer. The System consists of an Aluminum Body section and either an Aluminum or Purple Heart Wood Leg Set. The Aluminum Body has a top slot on one side and a bottom slot on the other. Slide the corresponding slotted legs onto the body section to create a single stand or combine more than one body section to create a multiple stand.
Use your Jayne Redman® Bench Accessory System to hold pliers, shears, tweezers or any compatibly shaped tool.
The Jayne Redman® Rotational Bench Pin is the perfect work surface for your jeweler’s bench. The interchangeable surfaces are aluminum and purple heart wood. Both the aluminum and large wood surfaces are 5 inches wide and 6 inches long. The new Mini Pin and Ring Pin in purple heart wood are 3 inches wide and 5 inches long.
Three base configurations are available. The Standard Base is designed to be attached with screws to the top of your work bench. The Dovetail Base slides onto a Dovetail Mounting Plate that is attached to the front of your work bench. Both bases can be rotated 360 degrees. The rotational aspect is particularly useful when sawing blanking dies as shown in the videos on the Tools page. The third base configuration is a simple stationary one with a single Universal Mounting Bracket attached to the front of your bench. See photos of each configuration in the Bench Pin Use Guide PDF.
The Jayne Redman® Rotational Bench Pin is made in Maine, USA.
The Jayne Redman® Rotational Bench Pin System is available from the Tools Shop or Rio Grande.
