About product

The 2.8 mm tungsten steel drill bit

A DSPIAE modeling drill bit, sold singly by diameter. This one is 2.8 mm and according to the name is intended for plastic models. Neither a holder nor a drive is included.

Hand pin vise, or micro drill

For plastic, a hand pin vise is a surprisingly more common choice even among experienced modelers. You have full control over both speed and pressure, the bit does not overheat and there is no risk of the tool jumping into the part at the moment it breaks through. The drawback is time, as with larger diameters and thicker walls you do a good deal of turning.

A micro drill speeds the work up but brings two risks. High speeds melt plastic rather than cut it, so a burr forms around the hole and melted material clings to the cutting edge. And as soon as the bit passes through the wall, it drops suddenly and may damage whatever is behind it. So if you do use a drill, go at the lowest possible speed, keep the part still and ease the pressure toward the end.

In both cases, mark a dimple first and clamp the shank as short as possible so that the bit does not run out.

Key features

Who it is for

FAQ

For plastic a pin vise is safer, as you have both pressure and speed under control. A micro drill is faster, but at higher speeds it melts plastic rather than cutting it.

Once the wall is cut through the resistance disappears and the tool drops. So ease the pressure markedly as you near the end, or finish the hole by hand.

The item is the bit alone. A hand pin vise or a micro drill has to be obtained separately.
