Silver Tubing For Coring - Size ?

[BehindTheScenes]

i'm about to dip into the whole coring thing...

what size tubing would i need to buy for 3/32 , 5/32 beads???

i know i came across a really cool chart with a bunch of sizes on it that someone here put together, and now i can't find it.

i'm so bad with numbers...lol.

thanks for any help guys!

I keep checking back hoping someone answerers your question! I was going to ask the same thing.
I just ordered an "IMPRESS" bead core tool and I ordered some silver so I could be ready when it got here and it was to big. So I ordered 3 different sizes by using the MM sizes. From what I understand the silver tube cant be to big for the hole, but its ok if its alittle smaller.
I hope we can keep in touch and compare notes!

I think this is the thread you're after

There's a link in there to a table of mandrel & tubing sizes, I think it's Miss P Lampwork or similar.

Have fun!

You're welcome! I'm about to give silver coring another go, so I was searching for info myself & happened to find both your thread and the other one :cool:
