Accurate micro drilling for scale modelling

The Tamiya 74096 Fine Drill Bit gives model makers the control needed for delicate work on RC kits and accessories. With a 0.8mm tip it is compatible with Tamiya Fine Pin Vises (Item 74050, 74051) so you can hand-drill trim, mount holes and small fixings with confidence.

Durable HSS build for repeated use

This 0.8mm bit is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) to maintain edge retention over many uses. It is suitable for plastics, timber and soft aluminium parts commonly used in modelling projects.

Multitool compatibility

Use the Tamiya 74096 with the Tamiya Electric Handy Drill (Item 74041) when a powered option is preferred, or stick with a pin vise for delicate detail work. Its versatility makes it useful across a range of modelling tasks.

Is this drill bit suitable for balsa or timber?

Yes. The 0.8mm size works well on soft woods and balsa for lightweight modelling adjustments and tidy holes for small fixings.

How often should I replace the bit?

Replace it when you notice reduced cutting performance or rough holes. HSS lasts well, but frequent metal drilling will wear the edge faster.

Can I use it in a handheld power drill?

Yes, it fits in the Tamiya Electric Handy Drill (Item 74041) and other small chucks, but run at low speed to avoid overheating and snapping the bit.

Any tips for clean holes in plastic?

Use a steady grip, support the plastic under the drilling point, and withdraw the bit periodically to clear swarf for a tidy finish.
