Fine Drilling for Scale Models with Tamiya 74087

If you tackle detailed scale builds, the Tamiya 74087 1.2mm drill bit is a useful addition to your toolkit. Made for use with Tamiya Fine Pin Vises and compact hand drills, this bit helps create neat, consistent holes needed for model detailing.

HSS Build for Long-Lasting Edge

Made from High-Speed Steel (HSS), this bit keeps its cutting edge longer and stands up to repeated use. It is suitable for drilling plastics, wood and softer metals like aluminum when used at steady speeds.

Perfect for Tiny Detail Work

Whether fitting photo-etched parts, adding wiring holes or making mounting points, the 1.2mm size gives the fine accuracy model makers need. Its compatibility with common hand tools makes it a straightforward choice for precision tasks.

The 1.2mm shaft is a standard size and will usually fit most pin vises, but check your vise's chuck capacity to be sure it accepts thin bits.
It will handle softer metals such as aluminium if you drill slowly and use a small amount of cutting oil. For harder steel, choose a specialist metal bit and lower speeds.
Keep the bit clean of plastic swarf, avoid excessive side pressure, and store it in a holder to protect the tip. Sharpen or replace when you notice reduced cutting performance.
