So for instance if you are planning to put 3mm gems in, use a 3mm setting burr. Take into consideration that you need to set in metal that is deeper than the stones depth aswell, so if the stone is 3mm across and 2mm deep you will need atleast 2.5mm thick silver.
That is only the beginning, then you need to learn how to actually flush set the stones once sat in their seat.
Hope this helps.
