Precision holes with the Tamiya 74083 micro drill

The Tamiya 74083 Fine Drill Bit is built for pinpoint accuracy when detailing models. Designed to pair with Tamiya Fine Pin Vises and small hand drills, the 0.5mm tip makes fine hole work straightforward and repeatable.

Made to last with high-speed steel

Crafted from high-speed steel (HSS), the bit keeps its cutting edge and performs well on typical modelling substrates like plastics, wood and aluminium. Its robust design helps maintain consistent drilling quality over time.

Is the bit suitable for aluminium parts?

Yes. The HSS construction is suitable for softer aluminium pieces if drilled with light pressure and appropriate support.

Will it work in my existing micro chuck?

Most micro chucks accept this size, but check your chuck specs to ensure a secure fit for a 0.5mm shank.

How can I avoid bending the drill tip?

Avoid excessive side load and use the drill at a steady pace. If the tip shows signs of deformation, replace the bit to retain hole accuracy.

What storage is best for tiny drill bits?

Keep bits in a small, dry case or tube to prevent knocks and corrosion. Label by size to avoid mixups during builds.
