Accurate micro drilling with Tamiya 74082

The Tamiya 74082 fine drill bit is designed for modest, precise cuts when adding fine detail to models. Its 0.4mm diameter is suited to Tamiya Fine Pin Vises and similar manual drills, allowing clean pilot holes and neat fitting of small fixings.

Long lasting HSS cutting edge

Produced in High-Speed Steel, the bit resists rapid wear and will tackle plastics, soft woods and aluminium with care. It is a sensible pick for modellers working on detailed RC components and scale assemblies.

Can I sharpen a 0.4mm bit?

Sharpening such a small bit is difficult without specialised tools; replacement is often the most practical option for consistent results.

Is it safe to use in a Dremel or rotary tool?

You can use it in a rotary tool at very low speeds and with light pressure, but hand pin vises give better control for tiny holes.

What materials are not recommended?

Avoid using this micro bit on hardened steels or very thick metal as it can blunt or break quickly; stick to plastics, soft woods and soft aluminium.

How to get the cleanest holes?

Use a steady hand, low speed and back the bit out often to clear debris. Supporting thin parts and using a small pilot mark helps accuracy.
