Refine your small drill holes and create precise flares with this 1-mm Maillefer conical diamond drill bit.
This diamond drill bit has a conical shape that is particularly useful for precision work on hard materials. Its 1-mm diameter is suitable for reworking small holes, engraving details, or creating a slight conical opening. It is therefore not used exactly like a cylindrical drill bit designed to produce a uniform hole: its geometry is primarily intended to gradually shape the edges and width of an opening. Diamond tools can be used on gemstones, glass, and ceramics, among other materials.
Note: When using a diamond drill bit to drill a stone, the stone must be kept submerged in water at all times to prevent it from overheating during drilling. Caution: When drilling, only the diamond drill bit should come into contact with the water. The Dremel tool must not touch the water.
What can you do with this 1 mm tapered drill bit?
It’s particularly well-suited for slightly enlarging the start of a hole in a stone, correcting an uneven drill hole, or preparing a cavity to insert a decorative element. In a project where you want to attach a component directly to a gemstone, the guide on how to incorporate elements into a gemstone demonstrates how pre-drilling and working with a diamond drill bit allow you to precisely prepare the surface. To master the basic technique, also review the steps for drilling a gemstone.
This small diameter is suitable for projects that require patience and precision. Proceed gradually, let the tool abrade the material without applying excessive force, and regularly check the depth achieved. This will help minimize the risk of chipping or cracking in fragile materials.
