Hi,

    We set many bullets and the most important thing is to really high
    grade your stones first. Pick stones that taper at the base so you
    can actually tighten a bezel around them. If you are using a high
    bearing bezel, you can put it in your flex shaft (holding the bezel
    by the inside) and spin it while holding a high polished burnishing
    tool against the edge to move the metal in. I think there is a
    posting in the archives that describes how to modify the jaws of
    your flex shaft collet, as we have discussed this thread before. If
    you cant find it, I would be glad to give you better detail.
