Jerry:
How long does it take to make beads from start to finish? Example: How long to Perform, Tumble, Grind and Drill?
Rosh:
This is a tricky question. If we had an answer, we would be the largest and best manufacturer of beads in the world!
Different processes are done by different factories.
There are no lead times and delivery schedules here.
The cutters work according to their mood.
Sometimes they may work continuously for 2-3 days and then take off for a week or so.
Most cutters take advanced payment and we are at their mercy.
On an average, it may take a month to get 5000 strands.
There are now 169 people online.
Have you been to a bead factory? Do you have pictures? I would really like to publish them to my website Email Me : Jerry Smith
