Model Making Tools

Model Building Tools
Precision Begins with the Right Tool

Whether it's the first milling pass, filing down tiny edges, or drilling with tenth-of-a-millimeter accuracy: in technical model building, the right tool determines a clean result. It’s about more than just function. It’s about control, dimensional accuracy, and the confidence that every part fits perfectly.

Our tool range is designed exactly for this: finely tuned to the requirements of 1:14, 1:8 scale, and beyond – for hobby enthusiasts, workshop professionals, and industrial users.

GHW Modelbau: Tools That Set Standards

Our goal: tools for true model builders. Whether you're machining single parts, assembling modules, or manufacturing in series – our range is structured so that you’ll find everything you need for your work. And if not, we’re happy to help: personally, technically sound, and on equal footing.

Proxxon MICROMOT Electric Precision Tools: Powerful in the Smallest Spaces

For precise work on metal, plastic, or wood, the MICROMOT devices by Proxxon are the first choice. Whether handheld milling tools, drills, grinders, or rotary cutters – these compact electric tools are built for maximum control and durability.

Bench devices like drill presses, mini lathes, or circular saws extend mobile use with stationary precision. Matching accessories, collets, and inserts are also available – perfectly suited for model building with fine tolerances.

Grinding & Polishing – For That Perfect Finish

Especially for visible surfaces, paint prep, or deburring, surface quality is essential. Our Grinding & Polishing section includes hand abrasives, grinding tools, polishing wheels, and compounds – perfectly adapted for sensitive parts. From flat sanding to fine matting and high-gloss polishing, our range offers the right tool for all model building materials.

Proxxon Hand Tools: Proven & Durable

With Proxxon hand tools, you rely on long-lasting precision. Whether torque wrenches, socket wrenches, ratchets, or screwdrivers – you get ergonomics, craftsmanship, and dimensional accuracy in one. Perfect for tightening and loosening fine screw connections, even in tight spaces.
Matching toolboxes, speeders, or hex key sets complete your workbench or mobile setup.

Hand Tools: Functional, Precise, Reliable

Even without power, a model builder needs full control. Our selection of hand tools includes pliers, files, saws, and marking tools. Especially when building assemblies, cutting raw materials, or fitting components, these tools are essential – with grippy surfaces, high precision, and clear purpose for every task.

Machining: Where Every Turn Matters

In model building, drilling, milling, or turning requires hundredth-millimeter precision. In our Machining section, you’ll find professional tools for drilling, countersinking, reaming, thread cutting, milling, and turning.

Whether for aluminum, steel, plastic, or brass – our tools are made for miniature diameters, sharp, robust, and precisely guided: for clean finishes, long tool life, and perfect fits.

Technical Chemistry: Bonding, Securing, Protecting

Not every part is screwed together – sometimes gluing, sealing, or lubricating is the better solution. Our Technical Chemistry section offers high-quality adhesives, sealants, paints, and varnishes. Whether for gear units, bearings, plastic-metal bonding, or assembly work – here you'll find products that hold, seal, and protect reliably and long-term.
