Bead & Pearl Drilling Vise — Steel Clamp, 13 Cavities 2–10 mm, Knurled Locknuts, Silver

Pearls split when they are drilled unsupported; nacre forgives very little. This steel vise closes matched, calibrated cavities around the bead so it cannot rotate or shift under the drill — 13 sizes covering 2mm to 10mm, which takes in most pearls and semi-precious beads. The hole goes where you intended, and the pearl survives the trip.

Two hinged steel plates align exactly as they close, and a central threaded screw with twin knurled locknuts lets you set clamping pressure finely — firm enough to hold, never enough to crack. Blow the cavities clear of dust between beads and the grip stays true.

• Features 13 calibrated cavities to hold beads from 2mm to 10mm in diameter.
• A central threaded screw with two knurled locknuts allows for fine adjustment and secure clamping pressure.
• Hinged, two-plate steel construction ensures the cavities align perfectly when closed.
• Holds spherical items securely to prevent rotation or cracking during drilling operations.
• Suitable for drilling pearls, semi-precious beads, and other small spherical components.
