About product

What the drill bits are for

Drilling small holes goes with almost every build: holes for gun barrels and exhaust tubes, pass-throughs for wiring and brake lines, mountings for grab handles, pins and antennas, suggesting drain holes or preparing a hole for the spigot of a photo-etched part. The range 0.9 to 1.5 mm covers exactly this kind of small work on models of vehicles, aircraft and ships.

What a pivot point is

The tip of the bit is tapered to a point that bites into the surface before the cutting edge itself starts to cut. The bit therefore will not run off to the side even on a curved surface and the hole begins exactly where it should. Without a point, a bit wanders on smooth plastic and the mark left by the wandering is hard to remove from the surface.

How to work with them

  • clamp the bit in a hand holder or in a low-speed drill
  • mark the place of the hole beforehand with a light prick, so that the point has somewhere to settle
  • drill with no pressure; thin bits are broken by force and by being held at an angle, not by going blunt
  • withdraw the bit from time to time, so that the chips are cleared
  • support a thin wall from underneath, otherwise it will flex and the hole will wander
  • once the hole is through, clean its edge up lightly

Who they are for

For builders who complete models with details of their own, and for work with accessory sets where accurate holes have to be prepared. Their use is not tied to one scale. The exact composition of the package and the diameter of the shank are given on the manufacturer's packaging.

Terms of supply

A bit holder, a drill and a model are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

A hand holder for drill bits or a low-speed drill. The diameter of the shank and the recommended speed are given on the manufacturer's packaging.

Drill with no pressure and square on, withdraw the bit from time to time to clear the chips and support a thin wall from underneath. Thin diameters are broken by force and by being held at an angle.

Ordinary modeling materials, that is, plastic as well as small accessory parts. In harder materials drill slowly and with even less pressure.
