Yesterday i riveted a bead and it's partial tube setting onto a ring shank. What sized burr should i be using to countersink my rivets? I drilled a 0.7mmm hole then used a 1.2 round burr but found that when it flattened the wire ends i was left with a depression round the heads. It was very fiddly and time consuming to get my riveting hammer onto the heads without damaging the ring. Is there a way to make this easier or is it just my lack of experiance? I'm pleased with my ring design but i'm not sure if i'd want to make another one unless i can find a way to make it easier.
