PROJ: AK9043 · SHEET 2 / 4

View · Overview

Product overview

AK9043 covers the middle micro-drilling band with 10 carbide bits from 0.4 to 1.3 mm. Every intermediate tenth is present, giving you a closely spaced choice when the intended hole is too small for broad jumps between diameters. Carbide is the cutting material of the bits themselves, and at these diameters the work is pinning, wire runs and locating holes rather than heavy stock removal.

  • Sizes included: 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 mm; 0.8, 0.9, 1.0 and 1.1 mm; 1.2 and 1.3 mm.
  • All ten bits share one shank thickness, keeping the holding end consistent across the set.
  • Stored upright in labelled slots inside a transparent hard plastic case.

Notes · Q & A

What size drill bit do I need for pinning miniatures?

For most metal and resin minis, 0.8mm to 1.0mm suits brass rod pinning. Drop to 0.3–0.5mm for magnets and small barrel-drilling. Match the bit to your rod or magnet diameter rather than guessing, and check the product description for sizes stocked.

Why do my micro drill bits keep snapping?

Nearly always side load — the bit flexing because the pin vice isn't held straight, or forcing it through resin. Let the bit cut at its own pace, keep the vice vertical, and clear swarf often. Sub-0.5mm bits are glass-brittle.

Do I need a pin vice or can I use a powered rotary tool?

A hand-held pin vice gives the control you want for fine work and rarely melts plastic. Powered tools spin fast enough to friction-melt resin and plastic and snap small bits, so keep them for larger holes only.

How do I start a hole without the bit wandering?

Mark the centre first with a sharp blade tip or a scriber to make a small divot. That gives the bit a seat to bite into, so it starts on the mark instead of skating across a curved or glossy surface.
