Would it be a good wire to use in making hammered jewelry like earrings? I shape the wire into swirls, then hammer it.

I used the wire to make personalized hangers so it is soft and easy to bend, not sure it would work for hammered jewelry.

It depends on what you are using it for: I used a single strand as a necklace and it frayed in about five days from wear and tear, for a craft it should be fine.

Most of the work I have done is with small parts.Makerbot. works well at this.most parts have micro lines thst do not effect machines,but Jewelry would have to be sanded and finidhed to your likes.

I would not recommended it. At best it would be a SLOW process with lots of cutting oil. For that type of work you should get a full size drill press. About 1/8" is about all the steel I would try. This is designed more for small light metals and wood. The type of work jewelers, dental techs and crafter do.

It should be perfect for this type of application; I know of nothing better, also there are many options for types of nails, i.e., ringshank, stainless, coated, etc.

Yeas, you can take the bit out and put in all sorts of different bits, including several jewelry ones. This is a good engraver but, before you buy it, you might want to consider looking for a cordless one. I have found that it is a little awkward to move it around with the cord, which can easily get in the way or mess with the balance of it.

I used it to cover silver plated costume jewelry. The base was alloyed metal. It worked great!

It varies. the cheapest wire is plated over brass. it's good wire to learn as it is cheaper. Gold filled wire is filled with a gold alloy, what I don't know. Sterling silver is not plated. my knowledge is new and I recommend checking into riogrande.com as they give a full explanation.

I would think so, maybe using a cotton ball. I have only used it on jewelry though.

I believe they are asking the user to use these on sheet metal and flat banding. Do not use these as wire cutters. If you're cutting flat, not round material all should be well.

I didn't use it for that style, but I googled it and see many people have used Fimo clay to make that style of bead. Hope this helps.

I suppose you could use this for bending flat wire for jewelry but it's not really made for small intricate work. Say for example you want to make a small ring or circle; the smallest this item will do is approximately 3 inches. Also, the rollers are knurled so it will leave marks on your metal which would need sanding and polishing.

No, it is to hot. You only need a small torch and the stainless steel wire. Check online for jewelry welding.

I don't know. It's a very flexible, soft wire used for making flexible body parts for cloth dolls. It is also kind of channeled and not very pretty. I personally would go for a heavy jewelers wire. Possibly Zebra wire. It comes in a variety of colors and can be easily shaped.

Hi, I have this blade and have used it for making jewelry without an issue. You may burn through them quickly though, depending on how often you use it.

Hi from New Zealand and the question should really be , not what can I do with them but do I really need them for the type of Dremel work I am already doing. I'm a typical Gemini and have loads of fun trying many many craft styles. Best use for these is for glass and bone carving/polishing etc. They would probably be useful for smoothing out any chips in your bakelite projects. I recently drilled some 5mm diam holes in laminated glass and with the odd squirt of water to cool burr and flush away the ground glass they did a mighty good job with little sign of wear even after some 20 holes. My main use is for detailing seaglass trinkets. Good luck in retirement. Barry p.s. I'm not an expert!!!

Sorry I have no idea that that is, I use it in jewelry making. I would assume it would work in any soldering situation but I've only used it using silver solder used in jewelry.
