jewelry bit

Post by Luiza »

Hi
I have a glastar diamond grinder, and I want to buy a jewelry bit. The glastar is 42 dolars, and the mica 29. Is there a big diference in quality?
Thanks
Luiza

I use the Mika and it seems fine to me. I haven't tried the Glastar bit but Jim at Blue Moon here in Austin told me they are basically the same. The Mika is made in Germany and I don't think I've ever been dissatisfied with German-made tools.

Thanks Susan and Paula.
As the glastar price was almost the same as mika, I bought the glastar at aaproducts.
Warm hug
