This Pearl drilling vice is used to hold pearls, beads and other round objects securely so you can drill them. It clamps pearls and other soft beads for accurate drilling from both sides without breaking or cracking. The hardened bushing guide at the top of the jig has a hole in it to keep your drill bit aligned, making it easy to drill a hole exactly through the center of the sphere. Holds spheres from 3 to 22mm in diameter.
