About product

Hasegawa Photo-Etch Scissors

A specialized modeling tool from the Japanese manufacturer Hasegawa, intended for working with photo-etched parts. Photo-etched frets are made of very thin metal sheet, and ordinary nippers for plastic bend or ripple them as they cut; repairing such a part is then often impossible. The photo-etch scissors have shaped jaws that guide the cut straight without lifting the surface of the part, so that the finished part stays flat and ready for bending and gluing.

Use

  • Separating individual parts from photo-etched frets (railings, grilles, ladders, straps, fine details)
  • Cleanly shortening photo-etched strips and sections to the required length
  • Cutting the thin metal sheets and foils used in modeling
  • Suitable for ship, aircraft and military models, where photo-etched parts are used most

Work tips

Always find the part on the fret according to the instructions first and cut as close to the part itself as possible; the remaining tab is then easily sanded away with a file. Work over a mat or in a closed box, because small photo-etched parts like to jump away and disappear. Keep the jaws clean and do not use them on wire, hard plastics or materials they are not intended for; that only chips the cutting edge needlessly. After use, wipe the scissors and store them in a dry place so that they do not corrode.

Who the tools are for

For modelers who regularly use photo-etched detail sets and want their parts cut off straight and without deformation. Builders of ship models in the small scales, where photo-etched parts are used most, will appreciate them in particular.

The tool has sharp jaws: keep it out of the reach of children and take care while working. Small metal offcuts are sharp, so clear the work surface.

FAQ

Nippers for plastic have a cutting edge shaped for a different material. They bend or ripple thin photo-etched sheet as they cut, and straightening a part damaged that way is usually no longer possible.

We do not recommend it. The tool is intended for thin sheet and photo-etched parts. Hard wire or thicker material will chip the cutting edge.

They complement them. Cutting with a scalpel on a glass or metal surface is the classic method, but scissors tend to be faster and safer on thin strips and longer parts.

After use, wipe the metal dust off the jaws, oil the joint lightly now and then and store it in a dry place. Never cut materials the tool is not intended for.
