• Brand: Tectime, reference TT721.
• Designed for precision DIY use, compatible with drill motors or hand-held chuck types commonly found in hobby workshops.

Applications in slot and modelling

In the world of slot racing, small diameter drill bits are everyday tools. They are used to widen or correct screw passages, open holes in chassis for anchoring mounts, adjust guide mounting, or simply create ventilation holes. The 2.4 mm diameter fits naturally into many of these tasks without the need for excessive force, reducing the risk of damaging delicate parts.

In static models, figures, and dioramas, this type of drill is equally useful for preparing assembly pins, opening gaps for brass antennas, working on figure supports, or creating attachment points in diorama bases.

Recommended mounting and use

To achieve the best results, it is recommended to work at a moderate speed and with consistent pressure, especially on materials such as ABS, resin, or polystyrene. Using a precision chuck or a desktop pillar drill significantly improves the verticality of the drilling. If working by hand with a manual chuck, always support the piece on a firm surface.
