Blade advice. Which?

I just use a #11 blade and get as close as I can and then hit it with a sanding stick. I like Excel blades, they seem to stay sharper longer than X-Acto blades. Hope this helps.

You should try the new Professional Sprue Cutter from Xuron, very clean cuts with little or no residue.

There is no compression which causes tearing by some cutters. Instead you get a nice clean cut.

I thought he meant the little bit that may be left over after removing it from the sprue. I just recieved my new Xuron Sprue Cutter the other day and, yes, it is as awesome as every says it is.

Regards,

Jeff

I have been reading good things on those cutters,but it seems we do not have them in the UK.

You do. Xuron has a distributor in the UK and they are stocking them. You can always order from me, in fact I am selling and shipping them to the UK on a regular bases. Hence the reason the UK distributor decided to stock them...your local hobby shop should inquire about them from the stockist...I'll see if I can get the name of the company importing them into the UK.

Added: The UK distributor is Expo Drills www.expotools.com they don't have the cutter posted on their site yet but we're checking to see why.

I have been after those new cutters also in the UK.And nowhere has them,you can get the older sort.

Perhaps they will not stock them untill the old ones have gone.It is the same with all the good stuff,no one will stock it.I found 1 shop that sells etch folders,1 make 1 size only.Also Tasca kits are a no no.

Cammett Ltd was the importer in the UK for The Small Shop's Hold n Fold products. 

I don't understand the theory of hold onto new merchandise until the old "model" has sold out. Essentially they are stopping the flow of cash as well as the turn of product. If something isn't selling, then deeply discount it to bring in merchandise that will sell...that's taught in Retailing 101! Dead inventory just continues to cost you to hold on to it. DUH!
