Repair or create jewelry for family and friends, create gifts for birthdays and holidays or give this reamer set as a present for your artistic loved ones!
Needle File Sets
Our needle files work wonderfully for a variety of jewelry making applications. They can be used to file rough edges on metal beads & findings, or even to shape & detail polymer clay & PMC before & after firing. Their miniature size also makes them ideal for getting into confined spaces.
Electric Bead Reamers
Use the motorized bead reamers to make bead holes larger, remove unwanted burrs from bead holes before stringing and smooth and file rough edges. They are perfect for shaping plastic, wood, metal, jewelry, ceramic, stone, shell, pearl, gemstone, and glass beads.
Manual Bead Reamer Sets
Tips are Encrusted with industrial grade diamond great for repeated use. Diamond grade tips are great for precise work because of their extremely fine, sharp, and high-quality tips. Used to enlarge small holes to accommodate the hemp, string, wire, or anything you would be using to stick through the bead.
Replacement Tip Sets Available
10 Piece and 30 Piece Diamond Coated Bit Sets are available to use with both our motorized and manual reamers. Use on Metal, Glass, Wood or Ceramics. Come in a convenient plastic case.

I paid for an item that is new and should not require rust-removal or gluing of parts. Here's the rest of the review: One star for the Beech-wood handle. No additional stars as there are defects: 1) The collet in which the reamer is inserted is rusted and therefore either of questionable quality or handling - or both. 2) The metal collar intended to cover the wooden handle is loose (and the edge is quite "wavy" - see photo). 3) I have not tied the reamers as the quality/handling of the other parts is substandard. BTW, no reviews for this item for any rating less than 5-stars. I found this suspicious and should have known better than to order anyway.

It really works well. I use it mainly to make the bead hole larger and smooth. It easy to use.

Sometimes a bead does not string easily. The bead hole might be clogged or uneven, and this really helps to string those beads. That is what I mostly use it for.

I bought this not for reaming beads, but they are perfect for sharpening seam rippers. I pretty much have to rip out most (or part) of every seam so my seam rippers (yes, I said rippers…I have lots) lose their edge quickly, but this little tool really sharpens them perfectly.

This works like a dream. I've had issues with Czech glass beads arriving with only partial holes. After accidentally breaking them trying to finish the hole myself, I just started setting them aside or throwing them away. When I got some India drilled gemstones in with the same problem, I bought this. (Gemstones are too expensive to be tossing them away.) Now I wish I'd purchased this sooner. The drill pieces ae easy to exchange. The handle allows for a nice grip. It came with a case to keep the drill pieces so that they don't get lost. Highly recommend.
