Handy little tools topic... post them here...

[Lord Ferguson]

I found this really 'natty' little tool a while ago which I thought I'd share with you model builders... it's actually a cutter for the plastic trim you put around tiles (the edge strip) ....

So... if you've got a natty tool you want to share with us all please post away....

Oh... by the way... this is made by plasplugs and it DOES cut plastrut.. I've tried it ... takes a stanley blade by the way 

[FB]

now you post it! >

can it cut at angles, like 45 or 30 deg?

[Lord Ferguson]

Yep... it's got a mitre guide on it mate.. clicks at certain stops too...

Tile shop in Dry Drayton... I've ordered two more... 

I reckon it will be a blooming handy bit of kit for your scratchy fella's 

[Tractorman810]

Was going to ask the same thing ben , looks a smart bit of kit mark

[Lord Ferguson]

Useful to shave a 'pumteenth' off things mate as well... does wood too... I prefer my bandsaw it has to be said... but for those who don't want to invest in a bandsaw this is just the kiddy I reckon... cheap enough too

[Lord Ferguson]

Shed 2 hey Holmes... I missed that comment.. come on man... tell us more  :P

[Lord Ferguson]

Not sure mate to be honest... a mate gave me this one... but I've ordered two more - so I'll let you know when I pick them up next week

Here is a birthday present I got back in April which has and will continue to be of great help. Snips with a protractor attached. Excellent for plastic and some woods you can repeat or make opposite joints fit, cut angles for anything basically. You can take the protractor part off and replace it with a box/right angle profile for straight cutting anything else, or other atachments for cutting tubes as well or just a straight bottom piece for cutting bits and pieces.

Around the £20 mark in good hobby or model shops.

Also, this plastic scriber. You can use it for scoring and ultimately snapping plastic or thin ply (go with the grain not across it!!!) or just score once or twice to leave a groove. Made by Tamiya and retails for a fiver.

that cutter is £9.39 at machine mart if you look it up on google

[Deere-est]
