some years ago at a mineral, gem, lapidary bead show I purchased a lot of very small bead reaming bits, diamond coated...
they were an inch and under in length, and very narrow... just perfect for my jewelry making

I've pretty much worn them down...
and, I misplaced my note of the source

online shopping brings up only larger bits and most with devices.. I need only the tips

anyone know of a source for these? 

thanks!

Probably Daniel Lopacki, he carries teeny little diamond bits. Just went to his site and saw that he's closing it down, so I encourage all of you how might need these to buy soon. http://lopacki.com/lopacki/drills/index.html The website store is closed down, so if you need anything you have to call. http://lopacki.com/lopacki/index.html

sent them a email, thank you....

their site solved a problem....his pic of a "clothespin" small piece holder... perfect! I thought I had to make something from scratch....
have drilled my finger twice now with tiny tanzanite beads... the jewelry supplier holders would take more time to position beads than I have left..

Forny maskes a tip cleaner that works well for me, I don't use it often, but mostly when an obstruction has clogged the bead hole, or to ream and smooth out the unequal transition of the meeting place of holes bored in different directions.   Not made for beads, but a slick tool when needed.
