Product overview

This set of thin craft saws is made from photo-etched metal to enable extremely fine cuts which are necessary for applying modifications to your models. When you use a standard craft saw for modification, you have to consider the thickness of the blade itself. However, as the blade has a 0.1mm thickness, the cut line is also very small. The set contains 4 straight and 1 curved saws and they can be used for cutting parts as well as applying panel lining. The blades feature grips which can be folded over to increase support and this feature also allows them to be fitted onto the handle of the separately available Handy Craft Saw II (74111) for greater ease of use.

Notes · Q & A

What blade shape should I use for miniatures — #10 or #11?

The #11 pointed blade is the default for trimming mould lines and fine cuts. The curved #10 belly suits slicing and scraping over larger areas. Most modellers keep an #11 in the handle and swap shapes as the job needs.

When should I change a blade?

The moment it drags, tears plastic instead of slicing, or needs pressure to start a cut. A blunt blade slips and causes most knife injuries, and blades are far cheaper than the finger you save. Snap old ones into a sealed tin.

What's a razor saw for that a knife can't do?

A razor saw removes thick sprue gates, cuts resin blocks and separates parts too chunky to slice cleanly. Its fine kerf leaves a flat face with minimal material loss, where a knife would slip or wander on a thick section.

How do I scrape mould lines rather than cut them?

Hold the blade at 90 degrees to the surface and draw it backwards, shaving the raised line in light passes. Scraping controls depth far better than cutting and leaves a smooth surface that needs little or no sanding.
