F.A.Q.
F.A.Q.
Q: What size are these bits?
A: All 30 bits are 1mm (about 0.039 inch), ideal for fine detail and jewelry work.
Q: Will it fit my Dremel?
A: Yes. The 1/8 inch shank fits Dremel and most other rotary tools, flex shafts and drills with a 1/8 inch collet or chuck. No adapter needed.
Q: Do I need to use water?
A: Yes. Drill wet, with the piece under water or a steady drip. Water keeps the diamond coating cool, protects delicate materials from cracking and makes each bit last longer.
Q: How do I stop the bit from slipping on glass?
A: Start at an angle to cut a small notch, then bring the tool upright slowly once the hole has started.
Q: How long does each bit last?
A: Small diamond bits wear with use, which is why they come in multi-bit sets. Drilling wet, at low speed and with light pressure keeps each tip cutting longer.
Q: Can these drill sea glass and gemstones?
A: Yes. They are made for hard, brittle materials including sea glass, shells and gemstones.
Q: Is this set good for beginners?
A: Yes. It's easy to use and a good addition to a beginner's jewelry or craft toolkit.
Q: What is a 1mm bit best for?
A: 1mm suits thin wire, head pins and fine detail. If you need a bigger hole, step up to a larger size, because a hole can be enlarged but never made smaller.
Q: Has this product been tested for restricted substances?
A: Yes. An independent lab (Greatesting Service Shanghai, report GSL20241012011, October 18, 2024) tested a sample of our small diamond drill bits against the ECHA REACH Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern. None were detected at the 0.1% limit. View the full test report (PDF).

The nicest thing are the instructions right on the nice plastic container
So I tried first rock crystal bit broke rock broke. Not a good start So next rock flat petrified wood broke bit Third bit don't push so hard
Third bit finish and second rock
Results are great. Other bits I have break multiple bits no results. I had almost given up on drilling stones.
You have made me a believer in rock drilling thank you
good value
I put my first bit to the test with a pile of seaglass and after a bit of adjustment, it seems to be doing the job just as I hoped. There's no blow-out on the back, which I get with the ball tip, so this is a good change so far. I'm glad I took the chance with this seller.
diamond drills work great on seaglass
I love these bits! They're a lot strong than the ones I had previously used from a different company. The shank is strong, no bending, no shifting, sharp...excellent!
Excellent experience. Super fast shipping! I am using these bits today with a Dremel to great result. Thank you!
This is the perfect tool for drilling your lapidary work, Excellent customer service. These work well for jade so should be suitable for many uses. Thank you. I will order these again.
