Technique and Care

Position the blade at about a 45 to 60 degree angle and pull it gently along the line you want to add. Take several light passes rather than cutting deep in one go to preserve control and protect your workpiece.

Will this blade damage fine plastic parts?

If used gently and with light passes it should not damage delicate parts; avoid heavy pressure which can chew into thin plastic.

How do I tell when a blade needs replacing?

Signs of wear include rougher cuts, increased skipping, or the need to press harder. Replace the blade when it no longer produces clean, consistent grooves.

Can I use the Tamiya 74162 with a pin vise?

Yes, the 2mm shank fits common pin vises including Fine Pin Vise D (Item 74050) and D-R (Item 74112), though the dedicated Tamiya holder gives the best control.

Is the coloured shank reliable for identifying size?

Yes, the colour coding is a quick and practical way to identify blade thickness when you have multiple sizes on the bench.
