Hi,
You have different measures on this page and the page with Hercules saw blades – is that a real difference, or do your editor need to buy the next round? 😉
No, there is no appreciable difference between the two. There might be a slight difference between brands but not enough to really notice.
Hello.. what tool other than a tap and die set can I use to thread my own earring and body piercing jewelry ? Being it’s the very first time or fixing a stripped thread. I have a stainless steel handheld little 6 inch tool from my body jewelry piercing website but it’s only 316L and for creating ONLY 1.6MM AND 1.2MM external threading. I want to start designing my own piercing jewelry.. especially my dimple piercing jewelry in my cheeks because no one has ever yet created anything beautiful and unique with an edge with remaining classy and elegant as they catch everyone’s eye. A show stopper.
