Hi Carol,

    Best to get the slightly SMALLER size than what you need so that you
    can open up the hole to fit the stone snugly. If you use a bigger
    size you'll have the stone rocking around while setting,making it a
    pain to get level! or worse. Good to get a few burs of various
    sizes, but keep around your stone size to save money! I and many
    setters spend hundreds on boxes of different size burs because we
    need to be prepared, though i've had some years i've never used!
