Tamiya 74132 0.8mm Fine Pivot for RC Details

The Tamiya 74132 Fine Pivot Drill Bit is built for model builders who need pinpoint accuracy. Featuring a 0.8mm drill tip and a 1.5mm shank, this bit is tuned for delicate drilling on common RC plastics and thin materials used in scale and competition builds.

Notable Specs for Builders

Size: The tiny 0.8mm diameter is perfect for pilot holes and small fittings.
Shank: A standard 1.5mm shank offers broad compatibility with hobby hand tools and pin vises.
Application: Best used on plastic panels, lexan bodies, and light composite parts.

Practical Use Advice

Secure the workpiece and use gentle, consistent pressure. Start with a light entry point and increase only if needed. A fresh bit and controlled speed will reduce burrs and tear-out.

Can I drill lexan body shells with this bit?

Yes, when used at a low speed and with light pressure the Tamiya 74132 works well on lexan bodies to make tidy mounting holes.

What speed should I use for small bits?

Use a moderate to low drill speed and steady hands; very high RPMs can melt plastics or wander on entry.

Is this bit suitable for hobby CNC or manual work?

It can be used in small CNC setups or manual pin vises, but ensure the chuck grips the 1.5mm shank firmly to avoid runout or breakage.

How do I extend bit life?

Avoid excessive force, keep drilling speeds appropriate, and replace the bit when you notice dulling to maintain clean holes.
