Sizes: 1.0mm, 1.4mm, 1.75mm, 2.0mm
Small solid-tip diamond drill
bits are designed primarily for working with delicate jewelry
type work such as small stones, sea shells, sea glass and other
small delicate projects. The small diamond drill bits are
used with water for lubrication. The most effective cooling
and lubrication is obtained when drilling under water, with the
material submerged in a shallow bath of water that slightly covers
the top surface of the material being drilled.
To understand the "tiny"
size of these Jewelry Drill Bits, we photographed them
next to a US 10 cent coin. A "dime" coin is 1.3mm
thick and gives a relative comparison for the 1.0mm, 1.4mm, 1.75mm
and 2.0mm diamond drill bits. These small diamond drill
bits are similar to diamond wire bits, but they are stronger
and have a grooved tip design for faster drilling and longer
life. We've tested lots of jewelry drill bits and these
are the best!
These drill bits are generally
used in a small drill press as they are difficult to use in a
hand drill. The drill bits are designed for speeds to 10,000
rpm while using only very light pressure.
The diamond jewelry drills are
sold below, in 3-packs. Each package contains 3 drill bits.
There is also a 4-Pack Assortment that contains one of each size
of the small diamond drill bits.
Caution:
The shafts of the tiny Jewelry style bits are very small.
It is critical that the drill bit be placed as far into the drill
bit "chuck" as possible, so that the drilling tip of
the bit sticks out only a small amount. This is necessary
to provide adequate support for the small shafts. |

Note: These drill bits can't be used in a 'Dremel"
style tool. The drill bits have 1.0mm - 2.0mm shafts
while most Dremel tools require a 1/8" shaft.
