Bezel construction: ratio of stone size to metal thickness of bezel

If I have a series of bezel to set I prefer to use the Fordom, Jacobs chuck handpiece, held in my BenchMate ring clamp bracket, as a lathe. I can hold the tubing in this lathe as I cut the seat, set the round stone, prepolish, and cut completed bezel setting off.

This makes the task of setting a series of identical round bezel extremely simple, and quick.
