About product

Tungsten steel drill bit 1.6 mm for plastic models

This is one particular diameter, not a set and not a drill. You clamp the bit into a hand chuck or into a modeling micro drill and drill with it into the plastic of kits. The manufacturer is DSPIAE, and the material and the diameter are stated in the item name itself.

At which step of the build you will reach for it

A diameter of 1.6 mm is the typical size for the moment when you want to swap a plastic part for metal. A hole of this size takes a thin brass tube or a heavier wire, so it suits fitting machine gun barrels, pitot tubes, antennas or exhausts. The second common use is drilling a hole for a pin with which you join two parts firmly instead of relying on a glued joint alone.

The procedure is always the same: first mark the center of the hole with a needle or the point of a scalpel, so that the bit does not slip on a rounded surface. Then drill perpendicular to the surface, slowly and without pressure. In plastic the bit feeds itself, and haste only leads to the part cracking or the hole running off center.

Key features

  • One diameter of 1.6 mm, not a set
  • Drilling into the plastic parts of kits
  • For a hand chuck and for a micro drill
  • Suitable for fitting brass tubes and wire

Who it is for

For the modeler who improves kits with metal details, and for anyone who buys diameters individually according to what they are building. Before buying, check that the range of your chuck will take the shank of the bit.

The point is sharp, so keep it out of the reach of children. Drill on a firm surface and do not inhale the fine plastic chips.

FAQ

The item is one particular diameter of 1.6 mm. Sets of several diameters are sold separately.

Not necessarily. For plastic a hand chuck is quite enough and gives you full control of speed and pressure. A micro drill speeds the work up but raises the risk of melting the plastic.

Mark the center of the hole beforehand with a needle or the point of a scalpel. On smooth rounded plastic the bit almost always wanders without that dimple.

The diameter of the shank is stated on the packaging of the bit. Please compare the clamping range of your own chuck before buying.
