Tamiya 70157 Universal Plate - Reliable Base for Model and STEM Work

The Tamiya 70157 Universal Plate set supplies two 160x60mm plates together with a selection of fittings to aid construction work and practical lessons. Included are shaft mounts, angle brackets and rivet sets, and the plates feature 3mm holes on a 5mm pitch for consistent assembly patterns.

Compatibility and Practical Use

These plates are well suited to model making and educational tasks where clear demonstrations of mechanical principles are needed. The shaft mounts and angle brackets extend the possible configurations, letting you trial different linkages and supports without complex machining.

Suitable Skill Levels

Whether you are teaching fundamentals or refining a prototype, the Tamiya 70157 set is approachable for newcomers and flexible enough for advanced users. The simple hole grid encourages quick modifications and helps focus on learning mechanical concepts through hands-on builds.

They are ideal for teaching lever and linkage setups, simple gear trains and basic structural design. The hole grid makes it easy to repeat experiments with consistent results.
Spare rivets and small fixings are commonly available from hobby retailers; check for compatible sizes to match the included hardware when topping up supplies.
The included shaft mounts let you support simple shafts and bearings. For precision bearings or higher loads consider adding metal supports or bearing housings to the layout.
