The Jayne Redman Rotational WorkRing System is a bench-mounted workholding system designed for sawing, carving, texturing, engraving, stone setting, and other metalsmithing operations. Developed by Tim Sheriff of Swanstrom Tools USA in collaboration with jeweler and educator Jayne Redman, this set combines the rotating WorkRing Base with a 4.5 in (114.3 mm) WorkRing, Circle Clamp Adaptor, and Acrylic Disc. The rotating platform lets the work move smoothly beneath your hands while keeping the piece securely supported.
Features
- Rotating workholding platform supports controlled positioning during sawing, carving, texturing, engraving, stone setting, and other metalsmithing techniques
- Silicone-lined depression allows the WorkRing to rotate smoothly within the base
- WorkRing can be locked stationary using the side Locking Tab or secured from underneath the base
- Material is held beneath adjustable screws for secure support while working
- Acrylic Disc replaces the WorkRing when a solid work surface is preferred
- Circle Clamp Adaptor accepts Circle Clamps designed for the Swanstrom SawPlate System
- Base can be attached to or removed from a dovetail mounting plate at the bench
- Can be configured for an angled working surface with a Jayne Redman Dovetail Adaptor, sold separately
Compatibility
The Circle Clamp Adaptor accepts any Circle Clamp that works with the Swanstrom SawPlate System. The WorkRing System requires a dovetail mounting method and is compatible with dovetail mounting plates such as GRS.
The Circle Clamp Adaptor also accepts the separately available Wolf Wax Trimmer Adaptor. That adaptor can hold the Wolf Wax Trimmer, Wolf Adjustable Trimmer, Wolf Collar, and GRS Adaptor for the Ikohe Belt Sander.
Notes
For work that benefits from an angled surface, including making blanking or pancake dies, the included spacer and longer socket head screw can be used with a Jayne Redman Dovetail Adaptor, sold separately. The dovetail cleats can also be removed to attach the base directly to the Dovetail Adaptor. The Large Hex Wrench is used to tighten or loosen the Large Socket Head Screw when configuring the base to swivel.
The WorkRing, Swanstrom Circle Clamp Adaptor, Dovetail Mounting Plate, Dovetail Adaptor, Jayne's Large Slider Clamps, Jayne's Small Slider Clamps, Wolf Wax Trimmer Adaptor, WorkDisc, and WorkFingers are also available separately.
