Precision micro drilling for scale kits

The Tamiya 74096 Fine Drill Bit is aimed at modellers who need very small, accurate holes for detailing and minor structural work. At 0.8mm diameter it pairs with Tamiya Fine Pin Vises (Item 74050, 74051) to give fine control when working on bodywork, brackets and wiring runs.

HSS material for steady performance

Made from high-speed steel, the Tamiya 74096 keeps its cutting edge for precise results across plastics, balsa and light aluminium. Its durability makes it useful for repeated fine drilling tasks in the workshop.

Fits manual and electric chucks

For small production runs or repetitive holes use the Tamiya Electric Handy Drill (Item 74041), or use a pin vise for the most delicate operations. Adjust speed and pressure to match the material and keep the bit lasting longer.

Which materials are safe to drill with this bit?

This HSS bit is suitable for plastics, balsa and soft metals like aluminium. Harder metals are not recommended for a 0.8mm hobby bit.

How do I prevent wobble when drilling tiny holes?

Support the workpiece close to the hole, use a pin vise for best control, and ensure the bit is seated squarely in the chuck or collet before drilling.

Is this bit supplied as a single item?

Yes, the Tamiya 74096 is offered as a single 0.8mm fine drill bit suitable for precise hobby tasks and repairs.

Do I need lubricant when drilling aluminium?

Light lubrication or cutting fluid helps reduce heat and extend bit life when drilling aluminium, and periodic clearing of swarf improves cut quality.
