Scalpel stainless steel with 3pcs spare blades no.11

Stainless steel scalpel with spare No. 11 blades

A modeling scalpel with a stainless steel body, to which the manufacturer Art Scale adds three spare No. 11 blades. It is not a kit or an accessory for a model but a tool, the one that handles most of the small cuts in a workshop. The No. 11 blade has a straight cutting edge ending in a point, so it suits precise piercing cuts, running a cut along a ruler and fine trimming.

Use

• Trimming parts from the sprues and cleaning up gate remnants
• Scraping and removing parting seams (the technique of scraping with the edge at right angles to the surface)
• Cutting out decals and pre-cut masks
• Opening filled-in holes, cleaning grooves and engraved lines
• Cutting thin plastic profiles and films along a ruler

Who the tool is for

For modelers of all levels who want one reliable scalpel with spare blades at hand in the workshop. A metal body is stronger than plastic holders and a controlled cut is easier to guide with it. The manufacturer also makes the same scalpel with No. 10 blades, which have a rounded belly and suit scraping surfaces rather than piercing cuts.

The tool is very sharp. Cut away from your body on a surface intended for cutting, change the blade carefully and replace a dulled one in good time; a blunt blade slips and injures more reliably than a sharp one. Store it out of reach of children.
