Will you be offering 5 file set for folks who bought original casting kit?
Now I know why I and others struggled to fit stones w/original casting tool kit, as it didn't include files to assist in seating, adjusting stones to fit settings, etc.
I don't want to have to rebuy the casting kit, will you be offering the 5 file set as accessory to add to the original casting tool kit previously sold?

I really don't know. My kit recently (last week) came with five files. Only other set available on JTV currently is a file set including 10 medium size files. I will try and call JTV to see if I can answer your question completely. I am a new beginner than you are.Gender: Female

I purchased this when it was without the files. Will the files be available separately for purchase?

Answer:
If JTV Can't Get The Files For You They Can Be Found Online! Look Under Gemstone Stone Setting Tools & Then Look Under Files For Gemstones,I Hope This will Help You! I Had This Casting Tool Kit Before & I Wore It Out From Setting So Many Stones,It Paid For Itself Over & Over!! I Was Happy To See That They Got These In Again & Bought One Before They Where Gone,Great Deal! They Have Other Tools,Vices To Hold the Vice That JTV Gave You In This Kit & They Have Heat Torch's To Help You Bend The Meatal's & Proung's & For Sizeing Ring's! I Have Not Seen Any Of These On JTV,I Did Look But Could Not Find Them,This Is A Great Kit From JTV,A Beginners Kit,These Other Tools Make It A Professional Kit!! I Did See The Same Kit Online But It Cost Alot More Than What JTV Charged!!5 months ago

How do you set a stone in a setting that is not pre-notched?
I bought the Casting Toolkit set before they included files and can set stones in settings that are pre-notched (have a little indentation on the prongs). The stone will sit nicely in the setting so you can bend the prongs. Some of Jtv's settings do not have notches. I can not get the stone to sit and therefore can not bend the prongs over. Is that what the files are for? I do have files, but no directions. Thank you

Answer:
My casting tool kit came with a package of 5 files. Enclosed in the kit was a 10-page instructional booklet that had a loose page insert regarding directions on using the set of files. Since this page is loose, you may be able to request just that page from JTV. It's numbered page 11 and 12. This page has a step by step instructions on how to create a level seat for your gemstone. I would think JTV would be more than willing to send that to you. If not, ask another question, and I will send you the steps.Gender: Female

Answer:
I use my tweezers to hold the stone. I also first slightly bend 1 or 2 of the prongs to help hold the stone in place. It works best if you have the casting held in something so you have both hands to work with. JTV has great videos on you tube to help with all sorts of jewelry. It takes some trial and erro and practice.Gender: Female
