In this concise tutorial, the instructor demonstrates the step‑by‑step process for preparing a GRS Inside Ring Holder on a ball vise to set diamonds. The speaker opens the wrench on the ball vise, inserts the ring holder between the vise jaws, and tightens it. Using the drawbar’s locking cone, they attach an expanding mandrel, fit it into the holder’s hole, and secure it with the drawbar knob. The workpiece is then centered in the vise by adjusting its position, ensuring the ring sits centrally on the mandrel. With the ring properly positioned, the setup is ready for diamond setting.

Here's the way to use the inside ring holder. I open the wrench on the ball vise, place the ring holder between the jaws before locking it tight. With the locking cone on my drawbar, I put the expanding mandrel on, fit it into the hole on the ring holder, and lock it in place with the drawbar knob. As I prefer having my workpiece in the center of my vise, I adjust the position a bit. Now, when I put the ring on the mandrel, it is in the center of my vise. Time to set some diamonds.
