The Busch 4203 series carbide twist drills feature a 4-groove design optimized for cutting softer organic materials such as coral and pearls. Mounted on 3/32" shanks, these drills are available in 13 sizes ranging from 0.70mm to 2.30mm, making them a versatile addition to any jeweler's or craftsperson's drill collection. Sold individually, each drill delivers outstanding service life when used correctly.
For best results and longest tool life, use these drills in a drill press. As with any drill, excess leverage or canting can cause breakage. When working freehand, operate within the recommended speed range. These drills are not suitable for glass, ceramics, or gemstones.
