Expo Tools cutting tools for scale modelling and miniatures
Expo Tools cutting tools give you precision and control at every stage of assembly: removing from the sprue, trimming edges and adjusting fit before sanding and painting.What will you find in this category?
- Modelling knife with blade No. 1: comfortable handle and #11-type blade for fine cuts, flash removal and trimming. Compatible refills: T11 blades (5 pcs.).
- Flush-cut side cutter: flush cutting to remove parts from the sprue without damaging the detail.
Accessories that pair well
Complete your workbench for clean, safe cuts:- A4 cutting mat: self-healing surface with a grid for measuring and repeating parts.
- 3 mm tape and 10 mm tape: protect finished areas and guide straight cuts.
- Files and sandpaper: finish the cut, smooth joints and prep for priming.
- Tweezers: handle small parts precisely without touching the edge.
Tips for use and safety
- Always cut on a mat with a well-sharpened blade; apply minimal pressure.
- Cut close to the sprue attachment point with the cutter; trim further with the knife.
- Change blades often (T11 refills) to avoid tearing.
- Finish with a file and fine sandpaper before test-fitting and gluing.
