This OO Gauge 'Track Pin Mate' is designed to help when laying trackwork.
The Track Pin Mate has a drill locator that aligns your drill bit with the centre of a sleeper, to get a perfect hole location every time!
Once you have drilled your hole in the sleeper/baseboard then the Track Pin Mate can be moved along and a Track Pin that is held vertically against the magnet, can then be pushed easily into the drilled hole.
The drill locator hole will accept drill bits up to 1.0mm diameter.
It is suggested to use a drill bit of approx 0.1mm less in diameter than the diameter of your track pins.
For example: if your track pins are 0.9mm diameter then use a 0.8mm diameter drill bit.
Track Pins are NOT included.
It is suggested to hold your drill bit in a suitable pin-vice as shown in the pictures (pin-vice is not included)
