Choosing the Right Dremel Tool for Precise Gem Drilling


Question
What type of Dremel Tool should I use to make holes in gems for jewelry making?


Answer
Hi Jean,

I use a regular dremel with a flex cable attachment.  I buy diamond drill bits sizes range from 1.5 mm to 2 mm and larger if needed.  You should be able to buy this at Home Depot or Harbor Freight.  I can give you places to buy drill bits when you are ready.

I hope this helps and answers your question.

Regards,
Steven
