Cleaning Beads with a Brush?

[charles hall]

I'm very new at this, have been using a cordless Dremel and diamond bits to clean my bead holes. Does anyone have any experience or advice about using the same tool and small brushes (brass, stainless, nylon?) to ream out the last of the release- also a source if they are usefull.

Thanks
Charles

I suggest you'll get the best results using a standard drill bit or mandrel coated with a silicon carbide paste.
