GLASS DRILLS - GENERAL INFORMATION

All of the various glass drills are meant to be used WET. We suggest using a cordless tool, otherwise take extra care to avoid electrical shock while drilling in a wet situation.
Always let the drill do the work Apply gentle pressure and keep the bit as perpendicular to the glass surface as possible. Using a drill press attachment for a cordless drill is a handy set up if you will be doing a number of holes.

MICROMITE DRILLS

Micromite Drills are thin wires coated with diamonds at one end. Best used with a Dremel Tool rather than a standard workshop drill. Be careful to apply very gentle pressure with these thinnest drills to avoid snapping them off. Micromite Drills are sold in a pack of three with instructions for proper use
Micromite drills are often used in jewelry work as they produce the smallest holes.
