David Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Has anyone tried these sprue cutters or have another brand to recommend? The photos and video on Micro-Marks site for the Fujiya show really smooth cuts. https://www.micromark.com/Fujiya-13-degree-Super-Sharp-Sprue-Cutter TIA David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 That Dspiae nipper looks like a great took. I checked out their website but it was mostly in Japanese, couldn't get a handle on how to order. Where did you get yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurfalien Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hi, I wonder how both these cutters stack up to Tamiyas as I have both kinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, Trevor!, I got mine on ebay from Artisanhobby.....$38 if I remember right! They ARE the best nippers out there now. God Heads wear-out quicker. These literally cut like its going through butter!!......even with the fragile clear plastic sprus!! It comes with a torque-bit driver to adjust the "stopper" to where you like it, but it comes factory ready to snip. Obviously the stopper keeps one from smashing the blade, and dulling it.......They are BRILLIANT!! -Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you another HUGE bonus to these....they are designed to stop parts from flying to the carpet monster.....and they don't!

Hate to say it, bud, but the Tamiya ones aren't as good. They tend to "stress" the plastic, and toward the end of the cut, smash, and rip the part off, plus, because of the double blade cutting, it tends to launch parts. I,ve watched ALOT of people testing/comparing various brands, and the top one WAS god head until these came along. I heard about mine on a youtube channel; Flory Models....great channel!.....also got my high-tech seam scraping tool from there as well.

They are BRILLIANT!! +1 here. Got a set for Christmas and they are amazing. You literally can't feel them slicing through the sprue. And they're fine and sharp enough to cut horizontally through the nubbins if your sprue is attached to the joining surface rather than the outside edge of the part, like Tamiya do a lot these days... best, M.

ChrisBcritter Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) What's with the God Head reference? Dann, is your device autotranslating "Fujiya"? Edited February 14, 2018 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter31a Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 A lot of us have been getting similar cutters from Wave. We reference the same thing "Like cutting through butter". Also there is a set of cutters called Godhand nippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
