Sunstone™ Orion™ Zapp™ Pulse Arc Welder with Upgraded Auto Darkening Lens
Manufactured and supported in the USA, the Sunstone™ Orion™ Zapp™ Pulse Arc Welder with Upgraded Auto Darkening Lens is the only low-cost pulse arc welder specifically designed for permanent jewelry applications. It has an energy range ideal for most chain styles and is backed by a 180-day warranty. The upgraded auto darkening lens allows for effortless welding without the need to constantly adjust the lens, ensuring increased efficiency and accuracy during intricate soldering tasks.
Its pulse arc technology enables delicate spot welding with minimal heat dispersion, ensuring minimal damage to surrounding precious metals or gemstones. With a user-friendly interface, the Sunstone Orion Zapp Pulse Arc Welder is incredibly easy to use — even for beginners — and its compact size makes it a perfect fit for any workbench.
Sunstone™ Mini Argon Gas Tanks for Permanent Jewelry
Argon is used as a shielding gas in Sunstone Orion welders. During the welding process, metals are exposed to temperatures upwards of 7,000 degrees. At these temperatures, most metals become liquid which allows the formation of the weld. Argon protects the molten pool of metal against elements in the atmosphere including oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. It plays an important role in maintaining arc stability — which leads to increased weld penetration, better filler wire transfer, and better weld appearance.
This Mini Argon Gas Tank from Sunstone is perfect for permanent jewelry pop-ups and remote events. Don’t lug a big argon tank to your next show. Order a Mini Argon and place it in your purse, backpack, or welder carrying case.
GRS® Satellite® Vise
This is the perfect vise to pair with a GRS® Satellite® Turntable for working under the microscope. Since users don’t need a rotational vise when pairing with a turntable, it’s the perfect economical option. It was modeled after the GRS Low Profile Vise and features a similar weight and design that many engravers know and love. The large jaw size accommodates a versatile range of applications.
The GRS Satellite® Vise will provide many years of trouble-free service. It is extremely rugged in construction — yet relatively simple and easy to maintain. Required lubrication is minimal.
