GRS Benchmate Systems

Work-Holding System for Jewellers

BenchMate is a powerful holding system that stabilizes stone setting, speeds up soldering and simplifies jewellery repair. BenchMate reduces the hand force needed to set stones. You can set more stones per day and do a nicer job with less strain and greater confidence.

Special attachments turn BenchMate into an advanced soldering aid. You'll finish jobs like prong re-tipping, shank repair and ring sizing, faster. BenchMate simplifies complex jewellery fabrication and torch work, making you a better jeweller.

Using BenchMate requires no major change to your work methods. Just fasten the tapered Fixed Mounting Plate on the front of your bench. This plate mates with every BenchMate attachment including: Basic BenchMate Holder, Bench Pin, Engraving Vice Shelf, Sawing Plate, BenchMate Vice, Double Soldering Station. To change attachments, you lift them up and off the tapered Fixed Mounting Plate. It takes three seconds and requires no tools. This patented system keeps your work centred in front of your bench at the right height. You'll maintain good body posture for greater comfort throughout the day.

The Basic BenchMate Holder tilts and rotates to any position while you work on rings, pendants, earrings, and other jewellery. Its jaws hold both jewellery and other attachments including: Narrow Solder Fingers, Wide Solder Fingers, Shellac Pads, Pitch Cup, and 4" (100mm) Solder Station. The holder moves freely in all directions, or you can add selective resistance by tightening the pivot knobs. You can also lock it solidly in any position. The BenchMate Holder moves only when and where you want. This eliminates accidental slips that can ruin your work or injure you.
