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).

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.
