What kind of handheld drill do I need to drill through 20 gauge sterling silver sheet metal?
I am trying to make a pendant necklace. I am looking to spend under $50 on a handheld drill or drill bits. Can I just use the cordless screwdriver/drill I have at home with a special bit? If so…what kind of bit?
Thank you for your help!
While I would still recommend a drill press or a flexible shaft for precision and ease of drilling, you should be able to do it with a dremel. You could test your current drill on a scrap of copper or another non ferrous metal to see if it would would work before you invest in a dremel. As for drill bits–make sure whatever you get is good for metal (all-purpose is ideal). You can get a set of tiny bits from most hobby stores for around $20, or, depending on your local hardware store (ACE is good) you can get bits down to a 59 in wire gauge sizes individually (they’re usually around a buck or two apiece). Some rough approximates of bit sizes to wire sizes:
#56–16 gauge wire
#59–18 gauge wire
#68–20 gauge wire
#77–24 gauge wire (smaller bits break easily, so be careful!)
