Beadalon - Bead Reamer Tool

Bead Reamer Tool

Enlarge, smooth, and perfect bead holes with three diamond-coated tips

Bead holes rarely come perfect from the manufacturer. Stone beads arrive with rough edges that snag thread, drilled holes end up slightly undersized, and sharp burrs catch fibers mid-stringing. This compact reamer addresses all three problems with diamond-coated tips that smooth, enlarge, and round out holes without cracking delicate materials.

Three interchangeable tips handle different tasks: a large tapered tip (3 1/2 inches) for gradually opening holes up to 5mm, a small tapered tip (2 inches) for precision work on delicate beads, and an edging tip (1 3/4 inches) specifically designed to eliminate sharp edges where holes meet bead surfaces. Diamond dust coating on each tip ensures smooth, controlled material removal rather than aggressive grinding that risks damage. The tips store inside the 4 1/2-inch barrel when not in use, keeping everything together and protected.

A spring clip lets you carry this tool like a pen, slip it in your pocket or attach it to your work apron for instant access. When you're mid-project and discover a problematic bead, you don't need to hunt through drawers or interrupt your flow. Swap tips in seconds, ream the hole smooth, and continue stringing.
