Q: What materials can it handle?
A: It is designed for soft non-ferrous metals like gold, silver, and copper wire, typically up to about 13 gauge (1.85mm) depending on material hardness.
Q: What makes this combo useful?
A: The Durston unit provides precise coil forming and stability, while the OttoFlex flex shaft delivers controlled high-speed cutting, making production faster and more consistent.
Q: What is the main benefit of this system?
A: It turns a manual coil-and-cut process into a high-efficiency production workflow, producing large batches of identical jump rings with minimal effort.
Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after every use – Remove metal filings from the Quad Ringer coil holder, mandrels, and cutting blade area to prevent blade wear and ensure smooth ring separation.
-
Lubricate moving coil parts – Lightly oil the mandrel shaft, coil winder, and sliding components to reduce friction and keep coil winding smooth and consistent.
-
Blade care is critical – Use only sharp, undamaged HSS blades; replace immediately if cutting becomes rough or requires force to avoid coil distortion.
-
Flex shaft maintenance (Ottoflex S) – Periodically lubricate the inner shaft and check sheath wear to prevent overheating, stiffness, or vibration during cutting.
-
Keep handpiece clean & aligned – Ensure the No.30 style chuck grips securely and remains free of debris for stable blade control during operation.
-
Motor ventilation matters – Keep flex shaft motor vents dust-free and avoid blocking airflow to prevent overheating during long production runs.
-
Avoid excessive pressure while cutting – Let the blade do the work; forcing increases blade breakage risk and reduces jump ring consistency.
-
Secure mounting before use – Clamp the Quad Ringer firmly to a bench or vise to eliminate vibration and improve cutting accuracy.
-
Inspect mandrels regularly – Keep all 20 mandrels clean, rust-free, and stored properly to maintain exact ring sizing accuracy (2.5–12 mm range).
-
Dry storage only – Store both units in a low-humidity environment; lightly oil steel parts to prevent corrosion on precision components.
