Nechamkin Chasing Tools Set Kit #2

Nechamkin Chasing Tools Set Kit #1 combines three matched groups developed by master chaser Liza Nechamkin to give jewelers a ready-to-use, professional arsenal: the 25-piece core chasing set, the 4-piece matting set, and the 10-piece small pattern chasing set. Each tool is formed from W1 tool steel with heat-treated tips, 4.25″ (108 mm) square shanks for control, chamfered corners, and a satin finish for comfort. Faces are precisely shaped and polished to track smoothly across metalwork, with long, balanced tapers for excellent sight to the working face.

What’s Included

Design & Craft

• Professional pedigree: Set developed from a historic reference collection (Tiffany & Co., Gorham, etc.) to form a versatile “core” for Western-style jewelry and silver chasing.
• Precision build: W1 steel, controlled heat-treat, numbered tools for fast ID, and a Delrin-capped stainless container for shop durability.
• Ready to use: Faces arrive properly shaped and polished; long tapers provide clear sight lines and smooth tracking.

Specifications

Care & Maintenance

• Eye protection required. Always wear safety glasses when striking tools.
• Dress the striking ends: File or grind away natural mushrooming regularly to prevent chips and hazards.
• Corrosion control: A light lacquer is applied for warehousing and will wear with use. Keep tools clean, dry, and stored in the container; oil lightly for extended storage. Remove minor shank rust with steel wool, fine paper, or a coarse synthetic pad.
• Face polish: Maintain with green rouge or steel polish on a soft buff; avoid excessive polishing. For more control, charge a flannel with a touch of linseed oil plus compound and rub the face across it on a flat surface.
