I would like to pierce my bails in the size hole that I want. I have found that the 1/4" and 1/3" is a size that allows most necklaces to fit. I'm looking for a way to consistantly have the same exact size (besides making a bead and attaching it).
It works a lot better to pierce it then shape the hole with graphite. I pierce with a standard 3/32" tungsten then I use a pointed 1/4" graphite rod to shape the hole. I shape until the rod goes through the hole. That way every pendant has the same 1/4" hole in it.

The graphite shapes MUCH better than tungsten does too.
