Neat Trims for Kit Builders

The Tamiya 69945 Modeler's Side Cutter in white is aimed at builders who want precise sprue removal. Crafted from carbon tool steel, it provides controlled cuts on kit plastics to keep part edges tidy before clean up and assembly.

Long-Lasting Blade Quality

The cutter uses durable carbon tool steel blades that resist wear during routine use. A laser-etched "FOR PLASTIC" marking on the jaw clarifies the intended use and helps prevent misuse on unsuitable materials.

Comfortable, Non-Slip Handles

The ergonomically moulded white elastomer grips give comfortable control during long builds. The grips carry the Tamiya twin star emblem and TAMIYA CRAFT TOOLS branding for a recognisable studio feel.

Yes, it works well on common modelling plastics like polystyrene and ABS, but avoid using it on very hard alloys or thick metal sprues.
The blades are durable but not designed as user replaceable parts. Light sharpening by a skilled hobbyist can restore edge, but take care not to alter the cutting geometry.
Make cuts close to the sprue gate, hold the piece steady and trim in small controlled bites. Use a fine file or sanding stick afterwards for a flawless finish.
