The Drilax 2.5mm Diamond Drill Bit Set has twenty 2.5mm (0.098") diamond-coated twist drill bits and a brass collet, so you can drill clean, precise holes in sea glass, seashells, gemstones, ceramic and porcelain with your rotary tool. Each bit has a 135° split-point twist tip that helps start the hole without walking, and diamond-coated flutes on an alloy steel body. Drill wet, at low speed and with light pressure, and turn beach finds into pendants, earrings and bracelets.

Benefits

Precise 2.5mm Holes: Sized for detailed jewelry work in small, delicate materials.

Collet Included: Fits Dremel and other rotary tools, flex shafts and drill stands.

Less Cracking and Chipping: Diamond tips grind cleanly through fragile sea glass, shells and gemstones.

135° Split Point: Fast, accurate starts and clean chip removal.

20 Bits: A full set of spares as individual tips wear.

Compatible Materials

  • Materials: Sea glass, glass, seashells, gemstones, stone, rock, ceramic and porcelain.
  • Tools: Rotary tools such as Dremel, flex shafts, drill stands and other lapidary equipment, using the included collet.

How To Use

  • Fit the Collet: Put the included brass collet in your rotary tool, insert the bit and tighten it securely.
  • Keep It Wet: Drill with the piece and bit under water or with a steady drip. Water keeps the tip cool, protects the piece and makes each bit last longer.
  • Start at an Angle: Begin at an angle to cut a small notch so the bit doesn't walk, then slowly bring the tool upright.
  • Light Pressure, Low Speed: Let the diamond do the work. Pushing hard or running fast and dry wears the coating quickly and can crack delicate pieces.

Use Cases

  • Sea Glass Jewelry: Drill beach glass for pendants, necklaces and earrings.
  • Shells and Gemstones: Make hanging holes in seashells, gemstones and small stones.
  • Beads and Bracelets: Drill beads and small pieces for bracelets and custom jewelry.
  • Crafts and Keepsakes: Turn beach finds into keepsakes and handmade gifts.

F.A.Q.

Q: What size hole does it drill?
A: Each bit drills a 2.5mm hole (about 0.098"). All 20 bits are the same size.
Q: Will it fit my Dremel?
A: Yes. Use the included brass collet to hold the bit in Dremel and other rotary tools, flex shafts and rotary drill stands.
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: What materials can I drill?
A: Sea glass, glass, seashells, gemstones, stone, rock, ceramic and porcelain.
Q: What can I make with them?
A: Earrings, pendants, bracelets, necklaces and other custom jewelry and craft pieces.
