Best Dremel Bit for 1mm Holes in Jasper & Lapis Beads


Question

jasper bead
I see that you use a dremel tool which I just bought. I am trying to even out holes in large beads of jasper and lapis where the hole is rough in the middle, and I am trying to make the holes accept a 1 mm cord.  What dremel bit can I use?  The smallest bit is too small, and the next largest is too large!
Is there a particular bit I could look into?  My dremel tool is 1100-01 cordless 7.2 volt.  Many thanks for any help!  

Answer
Hi,

Use triple ripple daimond bits,  here is a link to buy them.

You could try the 1.5 mm bit.  Go slow and keep the bit cool with water.
