FAQs
What are diamond drills used for in jewellery making?
Diamond drills are used to shape stones. They can cut through hard materials since the cutting end is coated in diamond pieces. Note that you may need to add lubrication when drilling stones to create a smooth cut.
What are diamond burs used for in jewellery making?
Diamond burs are ideal for drilling holes in certain materials, such as beads, glass and pearls. These holes, called ‘seats’, are where a stone is placed in some settings.
How do I choose the right diamond bur and drill for my project?
The type of drill and bur you will need depends on what you are cutting, how hard the material is, the size of the stone or the hole you need to cut. Each project will have different requirements. If you need help finding the right drill or bur for your project, contact our team at AJS so we can assist you.
