I'm bumping this ancient thread to ask what size gauge is recommended? I tried 20g as was recommended in another video, but that leaves too much of a gap in the groove. I measured my bit and it varies between 1.36mm and 1.46mm, but I suppose that's also going to change throughout the life of the bit.
According to this chart, that leaves me around a 16g to fill the gap without going too large. But as I'd like to try this with sterling silver, I'd like to ask for someone to help me avoid making an expensive mistake to by checking my analysis, as I'm only stumbling through the problem with common sense and not any experience. Thank you!
