Long Dremel Diamond Bits
I have been using a hand-held bead reamer for cleaning and I don't think it is working so well - especially with the larger buttons and lentils.
I have a dremel - anyone know of a good place to get extra long diamond bits to clean the 1/16" holes?
Thanks people!

I just bought one of these in the 1/16" size here:
http://www.artintheround.com/page4.html
I love this thing! It is impossible to describe how wonderful this bit is! I was reluctant to try it because of the price - but it is worth it!
If you go look in the sales rack section here there is a thread with a bunch of testimonials from other people also!

This is the best and cheapest I've found. They work wonderfully in even the smallest hole beads.

Edited to add - I just clicked on Mary Beth's link - holy cow, what a price difference!

I love the long straight bit with diamond all along the length, like the ones Inspiration Toolworks used to have. I'm so disappointed that he can't get them anymore! (boohoo!) 
But the ones from Art in the Round are definitely the next best thing, they just don't have the flange that the Inspiration Toolworks bits had. Those were great for lightly dremeling really straight non-dimpled holes on sphere shaped beads.
