Precision Nipping with Tamiya 74009 Side Cutter

The Tamiya 74009 Side Cutter is intended for scale modellers who need neat, accurate nips when preparing kit parts. Its sharp blades allow close trimming that helps preserve panel lines and small details ahead of assembly and painting.

Reliable Cutting for Delicate Components

Comfortable handles give good control during delicate operations while the construction offers dependable performance for regular hobby use. Avoid using the cutter on metals or very hard materials to keep the cutting edge in good condition.

What is the best way to remove nubs after cutting?

Trim close with the Tamiya 74009 then refine the remaining nub using a fine file or sanding stick to avoid damaging surrounding detail.

Can this cutter be used on photo-etched parts?

Photo-etched metal is not suitable for this cutter. Use specialist metal snips or shears designed for thin metalwork instead.

How do I keep the tool performing well?

Wipe blades after use and store the cutter away from moisture and grit. Avoid cutting cured glue or painted surfaces to prevent buildup.

Is the Tamiya 74009 suitable for very small parts?

Yes, its slim profile helps access tight joints and small components, but work slowly and support thin pieces to prevent flex or breakage.

Any safety tips when using this cutter?

Keep fingers clear of the blade path, wear eye protection when snipping under tension, and store the tool with the jaws closed or in a pouch to avoid accidental cuts.
