Model makers seeking precise detailing can use the Tamiya 74145 Fine Engraving Blade to produce sharp panel lines and subtle surface work. The tungsten carbide tip provides durability and a steady finish for repeated use.
The 0.15mm blade is one option in a set of thicknesses tailored to different modelling needs. It has a total length of 25mm and a 2mm shank diameter. It is intended for the Tamiya holder (Item 74139) but also fits the Fine Pin Vise D (Item 74050) and D-R (Item 74112).
To achieve clean grooves, hold the blade at about 45 to 60 degrees and pull it gently along the panel. Use several light passes rather than a single heavy stroke to avoid slipping or rough edges.
Blades are supplied in a practical carrying case that holds up to ten pieces for safe storage. The shank includes a colour coded band to make it simple to identify blade thickness at a glance.
