Micro-Mark offers a selection of hard-to-find miniature taps, dies and bits for a wide variety of projects, including model building, clock-making, instrument repair and fabrication, watches, machining and machine work, component assembly, and more. Clearance Drills are bits of the correct size for drilling a hole just large enough for the shank of a corresponding-size screw to pass through without touching, such as the hole in a washer. The holes made by clearance drills are not to be tapped.

See the chart below for Tap, Die and Drill size reference. For additional information, an explanation of Taps and Dies follows the chart.

Tap and Die sizes follow the same naming standards as machine screws; shank size - threads per inch. For example, a cylinder threaded with a 0-56 tap would hold a size 0, 56 thread-per-inch screw.

More Product Details

Taps and Dies Explained

TAPS are used to cut screw threads into the walls of a previously smooth cylindrical hole or bore.

DIES are used to cut screw threads into the surface of a smooth rod or other cylindrical stock.

TAP DRILLS are bits of a precise size which are used to bore out cylindrical holes in a material or component before creating screw threads with a corresponding-size tap.

CLEARANCE DRILLS are bits of the correct size for drilling a hole just large enough for the shank of a corresponding-size screw to pass through without touching, such as the hole in a washer. The holes made by clearance drills are not to be tapped.

Example: Use a 00-09 Tap Drill to make a hole in a component which must be joined to another component. Create screw threads in the hole previously drilled into the component with a 00-90 Tap. Use a 00-90 Die to cut threads into a bit of brass rod, making a custom screw. Using a 00-09 Clearance Drill, bore a hole in a circle of brass to create a washer that will be placed between the head of the custom screw and the component.

Great tool!

Good quality foam clay

Unlike any air dry clay I've used .
Very easy to manipulate , doesn't stick to your fingers .
Can be made into paper thin sheets that hold their shape .

Thick sections will take well over 24 hours to dry out ; high water weight when fresh .
Evaporation slows down considerably once the outer " crust " dries on thick pieces .

After 24 hours @ 78 degrees and about 60% humidity , the 3.1 gram sample I experimented with weighs 1.2 grams .
.. and after 48 hrs weighs just 1/2 gram ,, and I don't think it's fully dry yet .

Definitely worth the price .
Very versatile .

My only complaint is the bag it comes in .
It is a zipper lock bag but you need to remove a fair amount of the product before you'll be able to engage the zipper .
It's stuffed full when new .
I fit the bag into a plastic container ( Folgers coffee 43.5oz can ) with an inch of water at the bottom to ensure it doesn't dry out until I use enough to be able to close the bag .
Most likely keep it in that can regardless , just to be safe .

Quality miniature model paint

This stuff is comparable to Vallejo paints which everyone in the hobby already knows are tried and true. I honestly would not be able to tell the difference between the 2 brands looking at a finished model or trying to paint with it. The price is about the same but this includes slightly bigger bottles with a better design on the lid and seem to come with a plastic mixer ball already inside but its hard to tell for sure. This paint set also includes a paint thinner and cleaner for airbrushing. Its really hard to beat the price and value of this paint set for anyone wanting to have a quality paint job on something. I would say its near impossible.
