Description:
Metric Drill Tubes are replacement accessory components for Covington gem drill machines, constructed as a set of precision-engineered metric-sized drill tubes designed for use with automatic and manual gem drills. The set includes two each of 1-1/2mm tubes, 2mm tubes, and cleaner pins. These tubes are used as a low-cost alternative to diamond core drills when drilling medium to soft gemstone materials and glass. For lampworkers and glass artists, they are especially useful when you need to drill holes in fused glass cabochons, lampworked beads, or other glass components for jewelry assembly and mixed-media projects.
How it is used:
- Use the metric drill tubes with a Covington gem drill machine to create precise holes in soft to medium gemstone materials and glass.
- Select the appropriate tube size based on your desired hole diameter, with 1-1/2mm and 2mm options for varying applications.
- Install the tubes into the drill chuck and secure firmly before beginning drilling operations.
- Use the cleaner pins to maintain tube performance by removing debris and buildup between uses.
- Replace tubes as they wear to maintain consistent drilling accuracy and hole quality.
