Micro accuracy from the Tamiya 74083 0.5mm drill

The Tamiya 74083 Fine Drill Bit delivers pinpoint holes for detailed model work. Tailored for Tamiya Fine Pin Vises and small hand drills, this 0.5mm bit is useful when laying out tiny fixtures or adding fine details to parts.

Reliable HSS performance

Made of high-speed steel (HSS), the bit retains cutting edge and is suitable for common modelling materials including plastics, wood and aluminium. Its dependable build quality supports precise, repeatable drilling tasks.

Is the bit suited to drilling aluminium castings?

Yes. It will cut softer aluminium alloys, but use gentle feed and keep the bit cool to avoid dulling.

What is the best way to drill thin plastic without cracking?

Clamp the part and use a slow, steady drilling action. Backing the plastic with a scrap surface helps prevent blowout.

Will it fit other micro chucks?

It works with most standard chucks that accept fine shank bits. Check the chuck opening dimension to be safe.

How do I keep the tip sharp longer?

Use light pressure, avoid overheating, and store the bit clean and dry. Replace if the tip deforms or drags rather than cuts.
