30 Pack 1mm Diamond Drill Bit for Dremel Craftsman Rotary Tool 1/8" Shanks Jewelry Beach Sea Glass Shells Gemstones Lapidary 30pcs.

I needed to drill holes in some shark teeth...like most normal folks do on a daily basis, of course. In particular, I wanted small holes just large enough for wax thread. So, I found these bits and thought I'd give them a shot. I had no illusions that these would be heavy duty for the price and just hoped that a set of thirty bits would be enough to drill 14 holes. Well, I have to say that I'm impressed. Not only did they work...But, I drilled all 14 holes in fossil shark teeth using just one bit. So, after reading all the other reviews, this was far better performance than I'd expected. Here's how I did it. 1. I found a small round tin with 2" high walls to use to hold the water and base for drilling. 2. I packed some Plasticine modeling clay into the bottom to act as a grip to hold the tooth. 3. I embedded the tooth into the clay and put enough water to cover the tooth by about a half inch. 4. I put the bit in my Dremel and set it to one of the lowest speeds. This is important because I think a lot of people are running these too fast and burning the grit off. 5. I slowly drilled into the tooth and frequently backed out to allow the filings to wash out of the hole and to cool the bit. I think it took less than an hour to drill 14 holes through shark teeth around 1/8 to 3/16" thick. That is the pro...definitely worth the money. The downside - Don't expect all the bits to be drill worthy. I mean, if you are drilling any sort of precision holes, only half of the bit tips are true enough for accuracy. The rest are fine for grinding edges or maybe enlarging holes. Some are slightly bent and some are varying diameters...just not precision manufacture. So, don't expect anything amazing for ten bucks. But, I'd definitely recommend them.

I'm very pleased with these diamond bits. They have worked perfectly for me opening up and grinding holes in glass. They seemed at first to be too thin and fragile for what I was doing but so far are holding up well!

I got these to sand paint out of some very small corners, and they did the job. The only caveat is that the extremely thin metal warps a bit when when dremel gets going, and the tip makes a circle around an axis instead of spinning right on the axis. Once the tip was on the metal, i could press it into staying in place, but because of the extra pressure i also got a couple of unwanted grooves. Once I had a feel for how they needed to be handled though, they were wonderful for fine detail work.

These Dremel tips work great for drilling into glass bottles for making custom water pipes. The thin tips are perfect for the initial holes for the stem and carb. The larger ones are good for enlarging and angling the hole for the stem to ensure the stem will be deeply submerged below the water level. Always remember to wear safety goggles and drill the glass under running water to keep it from cracking.

Not as good quality as I thought. You get what you pay for. Cause it was cheap

I don't know what happened to this product. Ive bought in the past. This time they are terrible! The tips break off within a minute of use. Don't think ill order this brand again. Very disappointed!

Worked great for drilling in my windshield to prevent crack from spreading

This item arrived first out of many. Super fast shipping!! These are the best inexpensive bits I have seen. The coating veries in thicknesses but there ready to do do the job!, Straight and well built at there core.. ( there not a blob of crap on a stick ) They all have threads where the metal/diamond was bonded, some are thick some are thin with the coating but way better than the cheap ones!... If you noticed in the pic the larger 3mm one's are machined down to Allow the 3mm shank to compensate for threads and a thick diamond coating for a final 3mm. That's why I ordered them and that's what I received.. I inspected each one with a loop and am very satisfied with this product for the price.

used for drilling into sea glass and stone

My daughter wanted to make a necklace for my wife for Christmas, and she handed me a polished small stone. I've never put a tiny hole in a stone before so I bought these, they started ok, but I broke the first 3 bits I used them gave up. Something thin? Go for it. The stone I was trying to drill was about 3/4 inch thick and that want going to happen.

DO NOT BUY!!! This is what I received. It is very obviously not a new product, the pack is missing 4 bits, it’s taped closed and had glass shards inside. Super disappointed.

will be able to finally do my beach glass

The drill bits are not all able to drill because they don’t have the diamond pieces to drill! ( the drill bits are so thin that they break instead! Very delicate need to be careful!
