The Busch® Burs Pearl Drills 0.10mm, ISO #010 – Pack of 6 are precision-crafted tools designed specifically for professional jewelers and artisans who require the utmost accuracy when working with extremely delicate materials such as pearls, tiny beads, and fragile gemstones. Since its founding in 1905, Busch has set the standard for high-quality rotary tools, delivering burs that combine durability, precision, and smooth performance for jewelry making and repair. These pearl drills feature a finely engineered smooth flat head with an ultra-fine 0.10mm diameter, expertly made from hardened tungsten vanadium steel. This specialized construction ensures that holes drilled are clean and soft-edged, protecting the nacre and preventing unsightly chips or cracks. With a 4.2mm working head depth, these burs allow for precise, repeatable drilling depths, whether creating new holes or enlarging existing ones in pearls or other delicate materials. Designed to be compatible with a wide range of rotary instruments—including pendant drills, micromotors, flex shafts, and pin vices—these burs give jewelers superior control for intricate detailing. The smooth design also minimizes vibration and heat buildup, which helps avoid damage and discoloration during use. To maximize performance and preserve the beauty of pearls, it is recommended to hold the pearls securely in a specialized pearl vice or between fingers wrapped with protective tape. Drilling under water or in a moist environment helps reduce friction and heat, further protecting sensitive materials.
Manufactured in Germany under strict quality controls, Busch® Pearl Drills are renowned worldwide for their longevity, reliability, and precision. These burs are an indispensable part of any jeweler’s toolkit, enabling smooth finishes, fine detailing, and consistent, professional results in every project.

How to Use
-
Secure the bur in a rotary tool, such as a flex shaft, micromotor, pendant drill, or pin vice with a 2.34mm collet.
-
For pearl drilling, hold the pearl in a pearl vice or between protected fingers.
-
Always drill under water or use a cooling method to prevent heat buildup, which can damage or discolor the pearl.
-
Apply gentle, steady pressure to allow the bur to cut naturally—do not force.
-
Use a lubricant like Busch Lube-Stik to reduce friction and extend the tool's working life.
Safety Information
-
Always wear safety glasses or protective eyewear while operating any rotary tool.
-
After use, clean the bur with a soft cloth and mild soap or ultrasonic cleaner to remove debris and prevent dulling.
-
Store burs in a dry place to prevent corrosion and maintain precision.
