Accurate 0.8mm Drill Bit by Tamiya 74132

The Tamiya 74132 Fine Pivot Drill Bit is aimed at modelers who demand small, precise holes. Featuring a 0.8mm tip and a 1.5mm shank, the Tamiya 74132 is useful for trimming, mount holes, and fine assembly tasks on common RC plastics and light materials.

Why Model Makers Choose This Bit

  • Size: 0.8mm gives neat hole edges for small screws and locating pins.
  • Shank: 1.5mm shank fits most hobby hand drills and pin vises securely.
  • Application: Best for plastics, lexan panels, and thin composite components.

Operating Advice for Small Diameter Bits

Use a pilot guide or tape to prevent wandering on entry and keep speeds conservative to avoid melting. Replace the bit if cutting becomes ragged to protect the workpiece.

Yes, with correct speed and support the bit will produce clean holes in lexan, but monitor for wear when used frequently.
A quality pin vise or small micro drill with a firm chuck is recommended to hold the 1.5mm shank without wobble.
Due to its small size, resharpening is impractical for most hobbyists; replacement is the better option once the bit dulls to maintain hole quality.
Support the underside with scrap material and drill slowly through to minimise edge chipping and achieve a clean exit hole.
