If you’re wondering how this bezel burnishing tool set works, read on. Choose the appropriate sized steel punch, one that is approximately a millimeter bigger than the outside diameter of the bezel you’re closing, and attach to the hardwood chuck handle; once attached and secure, place the punch over the setting and gently rotate, applying as little or as much pressure as needed, depending on the material you’re working with (e.g. some crystals may be very soft and require much less pressure than in comparison to working with harder materials like diamonds or topaz). If you need some additional force, the hardwood handle can also be used in conjunction with a rubber or plastic mallet.
Lastly, as mentioned above, the bezel setting punch kit tool set comes with a handy wood box for organized storage of all the assorted steel punches; the box features built in spots for each punch with etched sizing for each, as well as a spot for the hardwood chuck handle in the center. The wood box closes with a metal clasp to keep punches tidy and secure when not in use.
