PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

DSPIAE  |  AT-EH01-PRO
Aluminium Cutting Bits Holder — Red
The handle that DSPIAE push broaches and gap scrapers are made for. Magnetic bit hold, and an octagonal body that will not roll off the bench.
⚠️ Handle only — no blades or bits included
This is the holder on its own. It takes tools with a 3.175 mm (1/8") shank, such as the DSPIAE ZPB push broaches and GS gap scrapers, which are listed separately in our shop.
🎯 Why this one is different

DSPIAE sell their push broaches, gap scrapers and scribing bits as bare tungsten steel tips on a 3.175 mm shank. On their own they are not much use — you need something to hold them. A pin vice can do it if it opens wide enough, but many small ones do not, and a round body has a habit of rolling off the edge of the desk.

That last part matters more than it sounds. Tungsten steel is very hard and very brittle. A 0.1 mm broach tip that lands on a hard floor is usually a broken broach tip.

The AT-EH01-PRO is DSPIAE's own answer. An octagonal body that stays where you put it down. A built-in magnet that holds the bit in place so it does not work loose or drop out. And a matte grip that stays put in your fingers during long scribing sessions.

📦 What's in the box
✔ 1 × DSPIAE AT-EH01-PRO aluminium cutting bits holder, red
Worth being clear about: no push broach, scraper or scribing bit is included. Choose the bits you need separately and they go straight in.
✅ How it is built
▪ Precision-machined aluminium alloy. Light in the hand, so it does not tire your fingers over a long session, and solid enough to keep the bit steady.
▪ Built-in magnet. Holds the bit head in place, so it does not slide out of the holder or drop when you put the tool down.
▪ Octagonal, anti-roll body. Put it down on the bench and it stays there — protection for the brittle tip when it is not in your hand.
▪ Matte textured grip. Less slip when your fingers are dusty from sanding or tacky from glue.
▪ 3.175 mm shank fit. The standard shank size across DSPIAE's scribing and cutting bits.
🔗 What fits it
Bit What it does
ZPB push broaches
0.1–1.5 mm, 9 widths
Square-bottomed grooves of a fixed width: panel lines, slots, vents and recesses.
GS gap scrapers
5 dual-width sizes
Cleaning out and widening gaps, steps and panel lines.
Other 3.175 mm shank bits Scribing needles, hook broaches and other DSPIAE scribing and cutting bits on the same shank size.
Straight answer: if you already own a pin vice that opens to 3.175 mm, it will hold these bits too. This holder is the purpose-made option — lighter, magnetic, and it does not roll — not the only option.
💡 Getting the best from it
1. One holder per bit you use most. Every bit change means handling a brittle tip. If you scribe regularly with two or three widths, a holder for each saves time and saves tips.
2. Seat the bit fully. Push it all the way home before you start, so the magnet has a full grip and the tip runs straight.
3. Many light passes. With a push broach or scraper, depth comes from repetition, not pressure. Heavy pressure is what chips tungsten tips and jumps the line.
4. Use a guide. Scribing tape or a flexible straight edge keeps the first passes on line. Once the groove is started, the tool follows it.
5. Keep the magnet end clean. A magnet collects steel dust from the bench. Wipe it now and then so the bit seats properly.
6. Store bits protected. When a bit is out of the holder, keep it in its case. Loose tungsten tips in a drawer do not stay sharp for long.

⚖️ Worth knowing — honest limitations
Handle only. It does nothing until you fit a bit. Budget for at least one ZPB or GS bit.
3.175 mm shanks only. It is not a scalpel or craft-knife handle and will not take flat blades. Thin-shank micro drill bits will not fit either.
Made for scribing and cutting bits. It is a hand holder, not a chuck for drilling. For drilling, use a pin vice or a hand drill.
A magnet attracts metal dust. Fine, and easy to wipe off — but worth knowing if you work with steel or brass filings nearby.
Holds sharp tools. Once a bit is fitted, the tip is very sharp. Not suitable for young children.
