An inexpensive, easy to use, yet remarkably effective tool for lining your beads with silver.

The Impress comes with a centering peg for 1/4 inch OD / .218 inch ID tubing pre-installed. These pegs fit other sizes of tubing. Just unscrew the standard peg and replace it with one of these. You will need a #2 Philips screwdriver for that.

The 1/4 inch peg comes free, so don't order that size unless you want an extra one, or a replacement for a lost one.

PLEASE NOTE: The only figure of merit for choosing centering pegs is the tubing ID. Tubing OD's are also listed in the peg size list, but all that you need to match up is the tubing ID. Typical OD's are listed simply for convenience in identifying common tubing sizes.

Shown:
Left: 6 mm OD X 5.0 mm ID
Right: 5.08 mm OD X 4.37 mm ID (Special peg for 4.37 mm ID)

Just one or two gentle spins of this tool removes the bur from the tubing ends, leaving a perfectly chamfered end, which translates to a smooth, shiny, perfectly shaped rivet edge. Just about 3 seconds per end. It's effortless!

These steel blocks raise the height by 3/4 inch, to allow a 1and 1/2 inch tube height. They are easily installed by removing the two screws from the base plate and replacing them with these and the two longer screws supplied with the kit. All you need is a #2 Philips screwdriver. For even greater height, they may be stacked. You'll need the 2 inch screws for that, which are listed in this same catalog section.

Two 2 inch screws for double-stacking the Impress risers.

3/32 tubing works great for attaching bead caps! But because it is so small, don't expect a big wide lip like you get with large tubes!

This is a replacement for the ball that sits inside the Impress cone allowing it to swivel. It is a 3/16 inch (4.75 mm) diameter ball bearing. You can probably find these at a local hardware store as well.  I'm just offering them here as a convenience. You will never need this unless you lose yours. They don't wear out.
