The DSPIAE PT-C is a compass-style tool for scribing and cutting repeatable circles in plasticard, masking tape, film, decal sheet and thin styrene. Its stepless adjustment lets you set any position on the scale rather than choosing fixed increments, making it useful for canopy and wheel-hub masks, portholes, hatches and detailing discs.
Allow approximately 0.1 mm tolerance when setting the radius by hand
Transparent scale panel with concentric guides keeps the work visible during positioning
Spring-loaded bit mount provides adjustable pressure for lighter films or firmer sheet material
One 45° cutting bit is supplied; the magnetic compartment has space for three
Replacement bits are the DSPIAE MT-CB set, sold separately

Notes · Q & A
What can a circle cutter cut?+
Clean discs from masking tape, decal film and thin plastic sheet, within the thickness the maker gives. That makes it ideal for round masks on wheels, lenses, dials and markings. It is not meant for metal or thick plastic.
How do I get a clean circle in thin plastic?+
Set the radius, make two or three light turns to score the surface, then flex the sheet so the disc snaps out. Forcing a full-depth cut in one turn tends to tear the edge or drag the centre point.
How do I use cut discs as paint masks?+
Spray the first colour and let it dry fully, then lay discs cut from masking tape where that colour must stay. Spray the second colour and lift the masks with tweezers once it is touch-dry, for crisp round edges.
How do I keep the cutting bit sharp?+
Cut on a self-healing mat, never on glass or metal, and keep the bit covered or in its case between jobs. A chipped tip leaves a ragged edge and is best replaced rather than reground.
