Dust Collectors
There are many ways to finish
jewelry. Different procedures and equipment result in different finishes,
different operational costs, different finishing times, different gold loss
factors etc. It is important to get an overall view of the different
possibilities and, wherever practical, to experiment with different procedures.
For a good perspective, see Shor's web page "Recommended
Grinding & Polishing Procedures". For refining of polishing
dust, see the Shor web page on the Simplicity
Refining System.

Collectors:
Introduced to the jewelry industry by Shor in the
1950's, these dust collectors (and copies of them) soon became the only
dust collectors that manufacturers wanted to purchase.
They are still the standard of the
jewelry industry.: |
