Angled Precision Blade #3 (5 pcs)

Replacement angled precision blades, 5 pieces

A set of five replacement blades for a modeling knife. The edge is angled and runs out to a sharp point, so it suits precise cuts, separating small parts from the sprue gate and work in places where you need to see straight onto the cut. The angled geometry gives the blade a longer cutting edge than short pointed shapes, which helps when cutting thin sheet and when trimming decal sheets.

What it is suited to

An angled blade is the all-round tool for most knife work in modeling. It leads the cut in a straight line and at the same time allows work with the point, so it can both separate and scribe. It comes into its own above all when cutting plastic sheet and foil, where a long guided edge matters. For cleaning up curved surfaces a chisel blade is more suitable, because a straight edge would run into a convex surface and make grooves. The two blades therefore complement each other on the bench and it is worth having both to hand.

Use

• Cut with several light strokes instead of one heavy one.
• Work against a metal ruler and on a cutting mat.
• Change the blade as soon as it stops leading the cut straight.
• Put used blades into a closed container.

Who it is for

For modelers who need a precise, guided cut, for instance when working with plastic sheet and foil.

The blades are sharp and can fly off if they break. Work carefully, protect your eyes and keep them out of the reach of children.
