Lubricating the mechanical parts can also ensure smooth operation. Store the bead spinner in a dry, cool place to prevent rust and damage.

Wooden spinners feel nicer. However, for electric spinners it’s mostly an aesthetics thing, and doesn’t really change the way it works. While wood feels more durable and higher quality than plastic, we’re still dealing with a motor that won’t last forever anyways. As a leading manufacturer of high-quality silicone beads for crafting, art, and design, BusyBead understands the significance of precise and efficient beadwork. One of the essential tools in jewelry making is the bead spinner, which can save time and streamline the process of loading beads onto a thread or wire. This article will explore the different types of bead spinners available, how to set up and use a bead spinner, and practical applications of a bead spinner in designing and creating jewelry. By the end of this article, readers will have a detailed understanding of the benefits of using BusyBead products with a bead spinner and how it can enhance their beadwork. So whether you're a professional jewelry designer or a hobbyist looking to create beautiful jewelry pieces, BusyBead has got you covered. Experimentation: Bead spinners are easy to customize and experiment with. You can use different beads' types and sizes, funnels and other supports to make unique works of art more easily. First and foremost, bead spinners make the process of stringing beads incredibly efficient. Gone are the days of painstakingly threading each bead one by one. With a bead spinner, you can effortlessly load multiple beads onto the needle at once by simply spinning the bowl. This not only saves you an immense amount of time but also reduces hand fatigue and frustration. Battery powered spinners can be operated for long periods on good quality common alkaline batteries, or good quality rechargeable batteries. Where to buy a Bead Spinner in Australia

What is a bead spinner?

Bead spinners are particularly valuable when working with small beads that have tiny holes. These beads can be notoriously challenging to thread individually, but with a bead spinner, it’s a breeze. The spinner’s needle collects the beads effortlessly, allowing you to focus on the creative aspect of your project rather than struggling with the mundane task of threading. Yes, that’s right. You just need to be patient with yourself and keep persevering. Also, remember, even after fifteen years of using a bead spinner, I still get days when it doesn’t work brilliantly. I think sometimes a particular type of bead, or type of wire, or combination of the two, just isn’t great for spinning.

I have two manual wooden bead spinners from the PP Opount company that I really like. One is a larger bowl with a metal swirly base and a lid. The other is actually a double spinner with two small bowls on the same base, one of which has a lid. So, when I saw the PP Opount name on this electric spinner that’s different than the others, I just had to give it a try. I held the blog post for an extra week so I could give it a thorough test. The product listing for this one boasts a durable motor that lasts at least 2000 hours. Since none of the other models give that information, I’m not sure if that’s above average or not. But, if you spin beads for 2 hours every day, according to them it will last at least 1000 days, or roughly 3 years. If you don’t spin beads every day, it would last longer, assuming you are taking good care of the motor by letting it rest when it gets hot. I’m only mentioning this to illustrate the longevity issue of electric spinners vs manual spinners. I could use the same manual wooden spinners until I retire, and could probably hand them down for generations if my kids and grandkids have any interest in them.A bead spinner is a tool that makes bead working faster and more efficient. It normally consists of two main parts: a base (the stand) and an upper chamber (the bowl) which spins. It also includes a needle with a slight curve to the tip. This helps draw up the beads and ensures they flow onto the thread. Quiet Operation: Battery-powered spinners tend to operate quietly compared to electric mains-powered models. This can be important if noise is a concern in your workspace or if you prefer a quieter crafting experience. I think this spinner would be improved if the bowls were a different shape. The large one is very deep, so for me, the angle to insert the wire down to get the beads is doable, but a little awkward. I like to put my wire in almost horizontal to the beads. It’s a comfortable position for my hands and arms since I don’t have to lift my arms very high. And horizontal means the beads aren’t fighting gravity to get up the wire. I can’t go in horizontal with this one unless it’s nearly full, and since it’s so deep, it takes a lot of beads to get to that height. I prefer the smaller bowl, but the opening width to bowl height ratio still feels slightly awkward, just less so than the large bowl. When stringing onto wire I had to make the wire longer to reach the bottom of the bowl. Longer wires are harder to control because they aren’t as stiff as needles, and gets tugged and bounced around easily by the beads. If you are stringing onto thread using one of the long curved needles that mine came with, those work fine because needles are stiffer than wire and can therefore can reach lower without being bent and bounced about by the beads and centrifugal force. It does work to string beads. And the curved tops do help keep beads from flying (but so will a slower speed and good technique). But, I think there are better models more suitable for French Beading available now. Avoid Voltage Fluctuations: In areas with unreliable or fluctuating power supplies, battery-powered spinners provide a consistent and stable power source, ensuring that your work is not interrupted by power outages or voltage fluctuations. Assembling a bead spinner is typically a straightforward process, but it might vary depending on the type of bead spinner you're using. Usually, the manufacturer will provide instructions for assembling the bead spinner, which you should follow carefully to ensure proper assembly.
