Work on the finest details of your creations with this 0.8 mm Maillefer ball bur, ideal for starting, hollowing out, or texturing with precision.
With its small , 0.8 mm spherical head, this steel bur is particularly well-suited for delicate work. It can be used to make very small notches, prepare a pilot hole before drilling, or create textured dots on a surface. This size is ideal when you want to remove very little material while maintaining precise control over your movements, especially when working on small jewelry pieces. Steel ball cutters can be used on resin, polymer clay, and silver clay, and can also be used on metal with a suitable rotary tool.
How can you use this 0.8 mm ball bit?
It’s well-suited for marking the location of a hole on a small charm, creating a micro-cavity to hold a decorative element, or etching a pattern of small dots on a metal plate. Its very fine size also allows you to correct a small irregularity in a specific area without excessively widening the worked area. For controlled manual work on certain materials, see our guide on how to use a hand drill chuck. For power-driven operations, a multi-tool with accessories allows you to work more quickly, especially on metal.
This small diameter requires more precision than force. Beginners will benefit from working with very light touches, while experienced crafters can use it for fine textures, localized touch-ups, and particularly precise decorative details.
