The Bead Soldering Disc supports beads and hollow forms during soldering by providing indexed resting points arranged in a radial layout. Components sit on the disc surface rather than being clamped, allowing unobstructed flame access and even heating. Machined from titanium, the disc resists solder adhesion and oxidation while remaining stable under repeated heat cycles. Unlike mesh or improvised supports, the disc maintains consistent spacing and orientation, making it easier to solder multiple components efficiently. The disc can be used with a wide range of metals and soldering setups on a flat soldering platform.
Features
- Supports beads and hollow forms during soldering
- Radial slot layout maintains spacing while allowing open flame access
- Titanium construction resists oxidation and solder flow
- Stable on flat soldering platforms
- Can be used with all metal types
- Does not rapidly heatsink
- Stable weight and thickness prevents sliding
How It’s Used
The disc makes it easier to solder beads together by keeping components evenly spaced while heat is applied.
- Place the Bead Soldering Disc directly on your soldering platform.
- Set beads or hollow forms on the slots so they rest on the disc surface.
- Apply heat and solder seams as needed.
Material
Grade 5 Titanium, 125" thick
What’s Included
One Bead Soldering Disc
Who It’s For
- Jewelers soldering metal beads or hollow forms
- Instructors teaching bead fabrication
- Bench jewelers looking for repeatable results
Care and Notes
- Titanium will discolor with use. This does not affect performance.
- Clean as needed with standard bench methods.
FAQ
Q: Does the disc act as a heat sink?
A: No. Titanium has lower thermal conductivity than metals such as steel or copper, meaning it does not rapidly draw heat away from your work. This allows the soldering area to reach temperature efficiently without significant heat loss to the disc.
Q: Does the disc hold or clamp the beads?
A: No. The disc supports beads and hollow forms by providing resting points. Components sit on the surface rather than being clamped or gripped, allowing full flame access.
Q: What metals can be used with the Bead Soldering Disc?
A: The disc can be used with a wide range of metals. Standard soldering practices should be followed for each metal type.
Q: Will solder stick to the disc?
A: Titanium resists solder adhesion, which helps prevent solder from flowing onto the disc during use.
Q: Will the disc discolor over time?
A: Yes. Titanium may discolor with repeated heating. This is normal and does not affect performance.
