About product

A metal sanding tool with a cutting knife (U-STAR)

A combined tool: a metal sanding tool complemented by a cutting blade. During a build the two operations alternate constantly — a part is first trimmed somewhere, or a mold seam is cut away, and right after that the place is sanded. Having both in one tool shortens the way between the steps and saves room on the bench.

When you will use the tool

  • cutting away a mold seam and then sanding the mark down
  • leveling the remains of a gate after nipping a part off
  • small adjustments to the shape on the edges of parts
  • final cleanup of places that have been filled

What to watch out for

With combined tools, care in handling matters doubly — the blade is sharp even while you are working with the abrasive part. Put the tool down so that the edge does not point toward your hand, and when cutting always draw the stroke away from your body. Cut in layers and do not try to take the material off in one deep pass: the plastic tears under the knife and you easily wander. After sanding, remove the dust, otherwise the base coat will emphasize it. A blunt blade is more dangerous than a sharp one, because it has to be pushed — as soon as the cut starts to resist, stop adding force and deal with the state of the edge.

Who the tool is for

  • modelers who want cutting and sanding in one
  • builders who often remove mold seams
  • anyone looking for a compact aid for small adjustments

Check the dimensions of the tool, the material of the blade and the grit of the abrasive on the box.

FAQ

According to the name, an abrasive part and a cutting knife, so you can manage both the trimming and the sanding that follows with one tool.

Check whether the blade is replaceable on the box.

Always draw the cut away from your body, take the material off in thin layers and put the tool down so that the edge does not point toward your hand.

It is a combined aid for small adjustments. For fine cuts and long cutting a specialized knife remains better.
