Ring setting
I am not sure how to render this precisely. Would I get away with "shaped and grooved"? I do not feel my terms are appropriate.
Here is the full sentence:
Dabei wird vom Juwelenfasser zuerst der dafür passende Sitz gefräst und gestochen, bevor das Edelmetall mit dem Fasshammer gefühlvoll und mit höchster Präzision über den Stein getrieben wird, um ihm den perfekten Halt zu geben.
Thank you,
Sara

using a rotary cutter to groove a seat
I'm a woodworker, so I'm not sure of the correct jewelry-making terms either. But I'm pretty sure fräsen is not milling here. And I think you're right about grooving rather than piercing.
Channel setting is achieved when a jeweler uses a rotary cutter to create a seat in precious metal that is grooved to the size of a gem. Once the setting wall is prepared, the stone is carefully leveled into its seat. Using a precision handheld impact hammer, precious metal is carefully chased over girdle to secure the stone at the desired angle.

fräsen = mill und in diesem Zusammenhang "gestochen" = "pierced"
