What is a Pendant Drill?
A pendant drill is a useful tool that can be used to not only speed up but make your jewellery making process more efficient. Unlike fixed drills and bench motors, pendant drills are fitted with a hanging bale and foot pedal for more control and speed. The hanging bale of your pendant drill ensures multi directional capabilities making it the ideal choice for both left and right-handed users.
Pendant drills are an essential part of any jewellery makers workshop and are traditionally used for:
Drilling
Stone Setting
Polishing
Engraving
Watchmaking
Pendant drills are a fantastic tool for jewellery making and work well on a range of precious metals including silver, gold and platinum as well as base metals including copper and brass.
Why Use a Pendant Drill?
Pendant drills are incredibly popular amongst jewellery makers for their speed, flexibility and control, which is often unmatched by other tools. Some of the key advantages of using a pendant drill include:
Precision Results – The control and accuracy provided by a pendant drill allow jewellery makers to easily add fine details to pieces, make intricate adjustments to pieces and work on small components with ease.
Power – Pendant drills are fitted with foot pedals which allow for variable speed controls which is ideal when cutting, grinding and polishing. Some of the pendant drills we stock here include tools from leading brands Foredom and Dremel, powerful and high quality machines that remain industry favourites.
Versatility – Pendant drills are favoured by so many jewellery makers for their versatility. Most pendant drills and handpieces have attachements that can be switched out meaning that one machine can be used for polishing, grinding, drilling and more.
Ease of Use – Most pendant drills are well balanced and easy to handle for extended periods of time.
Alongside our range of traditional pendant drills we also stock a variety of handpieces including the Foredom hammer action handpiece and the Dremel rotary tools that are lightweight and easy to handle and ideal for detailed work such as cutting, sanding and engraving. Just as versatile as a pendant drill, handpieces are generally favoured for being more compact.
Although not technically pendant drills, micromotor drills are compact rotary tools that are generally quieter, and offer more precise control for your jewellery making. Micromotors have an integrated motor whereas pendant drills have a separate hanging motor making them more suited for longer and more detailed jewellery work.
When choosing the right pendant drill, consider what tasks you need your drill for. Consider whether you need light polishing and basic drilling or whether you need more complex tasks completing.
