Precision Countersinking for RC Models

The Tamiya 74130 Drill Bit is intended for accurate 2mm countersunk screw holes, useful when fitting Mini 4WD components or other small model parts. It is suitable for carbon fibre and FRP, delivering tidy, reliable recesses for screw heads.

Uses Beyond Countersinking

Aside from forming countersinks, the Tamiya 74130's head profile is helpful for light reshaping and smoothing of plate edges. This makes it a practical tool for final plate adjustments and improving the fit of mounting hardware.

Can I use this on thin aluminium plates?

It is primarily made for carbon fibre and FRP; thin aluminium can be drilled carefully, but expect faster wear and consider a metal cutting bit for frequent aluminium work.

How do I avoid chipping around the countersink?

Use a backing support under the plate where possible and apply steady, light pressure. A lower drill speed reduces the chance of splintering in FRP and carbon fibre.

Is this bit reusable after heavy use?

The Tamiya 74130 will last for many small jobs, but abrasive materials will blunt it eventually. Inspect the cutting edge and replace the bit when it no longer produces clean countersinks.
