What can you do with this bell-shaped bit?
For DIY projects, this cutter is perfect for preparing the ends of wires and rods used in earrings, open bangles, wire rings, or minimalist pendants. It’s particularly well-suited for metal wires, such as brass wire, which is widely used in wire-wrapping projects or delicate structures. By carefully rounding off each end, you improve comfort when worn and enhance the perceived quality of your jewelry. This tool quickly becomes indispensable for achieving clean finishes on minimalist designs where every detail matters.
Size Selection Tip:
For best results, choose a drill bit with a diameter 0.1 to 0.2 mm larger than that of your wire.
Example: For a 0.8 mm wire, choose a 0.9 mm or 1.0 mm burr.
A drill bit the same size as the wire will prevent it from entering the bell. A drill bit that is too large will cause the tool to slip and may deform the wire.
