A precision cutter is an essential tool in the model-making and craft industries. It gives you great precision and control when cutting, engraving and modelling various materials. Here are some of its most common uses:

Cutting: Ideal for cutting materials such as paper, cardboard, foam board, plastic sheeting and fine wood. It can be used to make clean cuts and complex shapes.

Cutting: Used to remove excess material from models, for example to cut moulding or flash lines on plastic parts, or remove excess glue or putty.

Sculpting: Perfect for sculpting and shaping materials such as soft wood, foam or polymer clay, and creating fine details and textures on sculptures, models or dioramas.

Scoring and tracing: The fine tips can be used to score and trace precise lines in materials such as plastic, metal or balsa wood, useful for adding fine details such as rivets or panel lines.

Cutting airbrush stencils: Perfect for cutting intricate designs from stencil sheets, adhesive vinyl or masking tape, often used in painting or airbrushing projects.

Decal cutting: Useful for trimming excess material around decals and stickers, ensuring a clean, crisp finish on models or surfaces.

Detail work: Essential for delicate tasks such as engraving fine lines, cleaning edges or adding detailed textures.

Mat cutting: Used for cutting out works of art or photographs.

Paper crafting: The tool is commonly used to cut out intricate patterns, trace folds or create custom shapes in scrapbooking or paper crafting projects.

General crafting and DIY: It's used in many other projects, including model making, jewellery making, fabric cutting and much more.

Changing the blade on a modelling knife is an easy task. Here's a simple guide to help you:

Keep safe: Before you start, make sure you're working on a stable surface and wearing protective gear such as gloves and safety glasses to avoid injury.

Loosen the rear clamp: Loosen the screw at the back of the handle to unlock the mechanism that holds the blade in place.

Remove the old blade: Carefully grasp the blade by its base and gently remove it from the handle, without touching the sharp edge.

Dispose of the old blade safely: Place the old blade in a suitable container or wrap it in several layers of adhesive tape to prevent any accidents during disposal.

Prepare the replacement blade: Remove the new blade from its packaging, always handling the sharp edge with care.

Inserting the replacement blade: Hold the new blade by the sides and align it correctly with the knife support. Insert it fully, making sure it is secure.

Lock the blade: Engage the mechanism to hold the blade in place.

Test the tool: Once the blade is installed, test the tool to check that the blade is secure and working properly, paying attention to the cutting edge.

By following these steps, you'll be able to change the blade on your model-making knife safely and ensure precise, efficient work for your hobby projects.
