Horia tool

Recommended Posts

Hi!

I am considering getting a Horia jeweling tool but I am not sure if I should choose the version with 3mm or 4 mm pushers. There is also a small difference in price.

I would appreciate any help or advice.

Thank you.

i asked the same in a facebook group and got this answer from mr. Lass  

"3mm is the most common. But the 4mm is the same size as in the Seitz jewel pusher, then you can use those ones if you find a cheap seitz set. The horia pushers is around $1000 for a set."  

if you buy the 4mm. you can use it all by making a kind of bushing...

As I'm a cheapskate I drilled/reamed my 3mm spindle to make a 4mm one, and then made a bushing so I can now use both 3 & 4mm pushers. If you do this though you need to be very careful and accurate - a bore not in line would make the tool useless.
