FSM carries an advertisement for a saw and blades from Unique Master Models (www.umm-usa.com). They look great. I used the email on the website to pay through Paypal. That e mail is [email protected]. Everything went smooth until John informed me that his e mail for Paypal is [email protected]. Take a look at the item in question. I think it will come in handy for my resin work. Let you know when they arrive.

Hey DeeeJ,

Hot link Here


Interesting for sure....looks to be much more versitile than the X-Acto's. Looking forward to you receiving yours...let us know how they are.

Thanks again for the post!

Been using these for years:


Now we know what happened to the stock of Gillette Blue Blades.

The newer ones are a smidgen wider in with, same thickness and cost more than I paid originally. But are worth it and I do recommend them.

Dave-- I also ordered the handle and set of blades. Looking foward to getting the stuff.

Looks like a great tool is it great for removing parts on hard to reach areas on some sprues?

I got one a while ago and it's the best razor saw I've used. The blades do snap if you twist the handle while sawing though. ( Yeah I know you're not supposed to )
Reccomended

Looks like I'm sold on this....placing my order next week.

Did you check out the "one-off's" for aricraft? WOW! Neat stuff there!

Thanks Dave and Pat for the "thumbs up" and DeeeJ for posting!

The blades are a little on the brittle side- just the nature of the steel used, but, I made a few smaller ones for tight spots by holding the blade with one pair of pliers, and snapping in half, then gently sanding, with a sanding stick-medium grit- and light pressure still holding in a pair of pliers. Just be careful as they are sharp and will cut flesh real easy.

A year or two ago, I picked up the newer ones with the handles from modelimex.com

I thought everyone knew about these little gizmos already.

DeeeJ,

Did yours come in? How is it???
