The dimensions of the 20 EXCEL 55511 drills

Here are the details of the diameters indicated for this assortment:

The covered range is particularly fine, from 0.34 to 0.99 mm.

What Projects to Use These Precision Drills For?

I find this assortment particularly useful for tasks that require very precise drilling.

The small diameters allow for creating holes for small parts, wires, rods, or different fittings.

I can use them on many modeling projects:

• plastic models;
• wood models;
• ship models;
• aircraft models;
• vehicle models;
• military models;
• dioramas;
• miniatures;
• figurines and accessories;
• small construction and finishing works.

The choice of diameter is crucial when the hole must precisely match a part or a construction element.

With 20 different dimensions, I can select the drill that best fits my needs without having to buy multiple assortments.

Drills Suitable for Precision Work

With such small diameters, I recommend working with caution.

A 0.34 mm drill is intended for particularly fine work. Therefore, avoid exerting excessive pressure during drilling.

For models, I usually prefer a gradual and perfectly controlled drilling process. This helps reduce the risk of breaking the drill bit and ensures a cleaner hole.

For this type of work, using a precision manual drill holder is particularly suitable. It allows direct control over the speed and pressure applied to the drill bit.

A Comprehensive Set for Model Makers

The main advantage of EXCEL 55511 is bringing together 20 diameters in a single assortment.

This allows me to smoothly transition from 0.34 mm to 0.99 mm depending on the desired diameter.

This diversity is especially useful for model makers who regularly work on detailed projects. It eliminates the need to separately search for each dimension.

Which drill to choose for your model?

The diameter naturally depends on the hole you want to make.

For extremely fine drilling, dimensions from 0.34 to 0.50 mm are particularly interesting.

Between 0.53 and 0.74 mm, you have a regular progression allowing for more precise adjustment of the hole diameter.

Dimensions from 0.78 to 0.99 mm then allow for slightly larger drillings, while still remaining in a very fine range.

I always recommend starting with a slightly smaller diameter when the drilling needs to accommodate a piece. You can then gradually enlarge it until you achieve the desired fit.

EXCEL 55511: an essential tool for details

I consider the EXCEL 55511 as a particularly interesting assortment to complement a model maker's tools.

The 20 dimensions offered cover the common needs for precision drilling on small models and detail work.

Its interest is especially evident when I have to make holes of a few tenths of a millimeter. In this type of situation, a standard drill is often too large.

With dimensions from 0.34 to 0.99 mm, this assortment allows for much more precise work.

If you regularly build models, I recommend pairing it with a precision drill holder suitable for very small diameters.
