What is a Bead Reamer

by Judy Ellis
Bead Reamers make quick work of those little adjustments that every beader needs to make. No jewelry toolbox is complete without a bead reamer. Whether you need a motorized diamond bead reamer for big jobs or a manual bead reamer for the occasional adjustment, you'll find the bead reamer you need here..

If you are not familiar with Bead Reamers, then this might be a good introduction to them for you. If you are familiar with how they work, then this hopefully will be a great refresher. Let's take a look at them.
Instructions
What is a "Bead Reamer"?

A bead reamer is a pointed, round file that is used to either smooth the edges of the drill hole in a bead or to widen the hole itself. It's important to always smooth the rough edges on a bead as they will wear the cord or wire of your design.
