About product

A drill bit 0.4 mm in diameter

The middle size of the three in the range and at the same time the most universal one. The 0.4 mm matches the diameter of ordinary copper wire, so a pin, an aerial tube or an ignition lead for an engine can be set straight into such a hole. It is also used for drilling out the muzzles of small weapons and the lightening holes in load beds and gun carriages, which on plastic are often only suggested by a dimple.

How it is used

  • Chuck it in a pin vise or in a mini drill at low speed
  • Mark the spot with a needle beforehand so that the bit does not slip off a curved surface
  • Drill without pressure; the pace is set by the cutting edge, not by the force of your hand
  • Pull it out as you go so that chips do not build up in the flutes

What to watch out for

A tungsten-based sintered material holds its edge considerably longer than high-speed steel, but it is brittle and will not take being bent sideways. Keep the drill perpendicular to the surface and never lever with it, not even when the bit jams in the hole. A jam is dealt with by pulling out and clearing the chips, not by more pressure. On resin and filler reduce the speed, do not breathe in the resulting dust and wipe the work area with a damp cloth afterward.

Who the drill bit is for

For modelers who replace suggested detail with real holes, and for anyone who sets wire and tubing into a model.

Test the hole dry before setting a wire in. During drilling some of the material is pushed inward, so the real passage tends to be tighter than the diameter of the bit suggests.

The package holds the drill bit only. A drill and a holder are not part of it.

FAQ

It matches the diameter of ordinary copper wire, so a pin, an aerial or an ignition lead can be set straight into the hole.

Pull it out and clear the chips from the flutes. Adding pressure is the quickest way to snapping the tip off.

It is not. The drill bit is supplied on its own; a pin vise or a mini drill has to be obtained separately.

Yes, but at reduced speed. Resin dust is irritating, so protect your breathing and wipe the work area afterward.
