【DSPIAE ST-C2 Ultra-Thin Single Blade Hobby Nipper】Precision Plastic Model Cutting Tool for Fine Detail Trimming Sprue Removal Product Name: DSPIAE ST-C2 Ultra Thin Single Blade Hobby Nipper Positioning: The ideal choice for beginners for straight build (simple, clean model assembly). Core Selling Point: Delivers nearly invisible, even, and smooth cuts on plastic model parts, minimizing the need for post-processing. Key Features & Technology Single-Blade Design: Unlike double-blade nippers which can crush and whiten the plastic, and average single-blade nippers which can still leave uneven cuts, the DSPIAE ST-C2 creates clean, smooth cuts with a barely visible step. Premium Material & Construction: Blade Material: Made from selected 60CRV carbon steel via a precision forging process. CNC Machining: Ensures consistency and eliminates axial play. Precision Grinding & Polishing: Processed on a 5-axis tool grinder for a sharp and smooth cutting edge. Hand-Sharpening: Final edge refinement is done by hand, a craftsmanship point pride honed over 9 years and 4 generations of nipper development. Patented Blade System: Micro-Step Design: A micro step between the sharp cutting edge and the wider blunt blade eliminates biaxial stress during cutting, preventing blade misalignment. Blunt Blade: Acts as a stable anvil, ensuring the cutting edge falls naturally onto it for perfect alignment every time. Durability & Quality Control: Extra high durability. Undergoes multiple inspections, including graphic inspection and high-magnification microscope checks, to ensure quality consistency. Packaging Details Ultra Thin Single Blade Hobby Nipper x1 Nipper Storage Case x1 Protective Sheath x1 Limit Adjuster x1 Specifications Model: ST-C2 Dimensions: Approx. 120mm Net Weight: 52 ± 3g Main Materials: Carbon Steel, Polyvinyl Chloride Usage Guide & Precautions Suitable For: Cutting sprue gates from plastic parts. NOT Suitable For (To Avoid Damage): Never cut clear plastic runners or parts (high risk of blade chipping/breaking). Never cut resin runners. Do not cut metal. Avoid cutting sheet stock directly. ️ Cutting Techniques: Close Surface Cutting: For a clean finish, place the blunt blade on the part's surface and slide the cutting edge flat against it to shave off the residue. Hiding Sprue Gates: Turn the part over and cut as close to the root as possible. Secondary Cutting: Due to the stepped blade design, a secondary cut is often needed for a perfectly flush finish. Maintenance: Keep dry. Wipe off any water immediately and apply protective grease/oil. Do not use underwater. Store in a low-humidity environment. Clean and oil after use to prevent rust. If the blade gets stuck, pull it straight out; never twist it. ️ Safety: Keep out of reach of children under 10. Wear eye protection to avoid injury from flying parts. Do not drop or throw the nipper. _x000D_
