Steady Hands. Precision That Makes a Difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to scale modeling, even the smallest details deserve a perfectly positioned hole. The Tamiya 74115 Fine Pivot Drill Bit is designed to deliver exactly that, combining an ultra-fine 0.4 mm cutting diameter with a reinforced shank for greater stability and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret lies in its clever stepped-shank construction. While the cutting tip measures just 0.4 mm, the shank has a diameter of 1.0 mm, allowing the bit to sit securely in a compatible pin vise. This design helps reduce drilling deviation and provides greater resistance to breakage compared with conventional micro-drills of uniform diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from durable, high-quality material with a carefully finished cutting surface, the drill bit delivers clean, accurate results when working on delicate model components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor WWI aircraft enthusiasts, 0.4 mm is a particularly useful diameter for preparing rigging attachment points, control cable connections, and mounting holes for miniature fittings. It's equally valuable when drilling holes for locating pins, scratch-built details, and other small components where precision matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're detailing a cockpit, preparing an aircraft for rigging, or modifying a delicate plastic component, this precision drill bit helps ensure that every hole ends up exactly where you intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a fraction of a millimeter might not sound like much.
