Accurate cutter for hobby assembly

The Tamiya 74129 Side Cutter is built for modellers who need precise control when preparing plastic and soft metal parts. It helps produce tidy joints and sharp edges that make assembly and finishing quicker and cleaner.

Ergonomics and cutting performance

With a comfortable handle profile, the Tamiya 74129 reduces fatigue during long build sessions. The blade geometry is made to slice through sprues and soft metal cleanly, avoiding smashed or misshapen parts.

Where it helps in your builds

Perfect for trimming sprue remnants, cleaning mould lines, and adjusting small metal fittings. This cutter gives the accuracy needed for delicate shaping and fitting on RC cars, planes, and boats.

If used correctly it will not. Position the blades close to the part and apply steady pressure to avoid crushing thin sections. Practice on scrap sprue first.
The tool is not designed for regular blade swaps. If the blades become blunt or damaged, consider replacing the cutter rather than attempting modifications.
It excels on small to medium scale parts such as sprue gates, thin plastic details and light metal linkages where precise cuts are needed.
Wear eye protection when cutting to guard against flying bits, keep fingers clear of the blades, and store the cutter with the blades closed when not in use.
