Undrilled round would be best for most bead bezel work. Which is a common use. Something as small as 1/2 would be great fr earrings.

where to put them.

upset? :) Other than me? lol

Pendant, Bracelet, Anklet drops?

drilled or wrapped?

how would I drill a hole in some of the pieces?

are thick and big.

Shirley, This must have been a dremel christmas.....

My Husband bought me a deluxe dremel, deluxe accessories, and a router attachment.

LOL

It looks like it was. Just after Christmas I went to Focus the nearest store that sold Dremel bits and pieces. Alas they have stopped doing them, the only thing they had was the router attachment which was on sale at half price. 30GBP about 53 dollars at today's rate.

My son said I would be better off getting some spares from USA as they are cheaper and the exchange rate is good for us at the moment. I want a flexible drive and will use polishing and cutting disc's more than anything else. Shirley

In article , Debbie B writes

I want a flexible drive too, as mine's corded and quite bulky for craft stuff. It came with various bits including cutting disks (I've only broken one so far!). Our local model shop has loads of bits, do you have one near you? If not I can post you some disks or whatever bits you need. (swapsies?)

You could offer them for sale undrilled, and say if you want them drilled let me know how many holes and where...

Well I know for a fact that there is a flexible drive in amongst my birthday parcels for tomorrow. There is some on ebay UK at the moment for about 19 pounds. I was telling DH about them yesterday and he hoped I had not bought one. he had to tell me DS had got me one for my birthday.

No our local model shop closed and Focus are no longer stocking them.

I shall only need them for cutting, drilling and polishing so I keep you in mind when I need some. Thanks for the offer. Shirley

Is Rio Grande an option for you? That's where I got mine.
