I collect model kits. Are these good for cutting plastic sprues and are they clean cuts?

These are made to cut wire, so plastic should be no problem. The cuts are as clean and flush as they can possibly be. You may still need to sand a little.

Honestly I can't answer that. We've only used them on wire. As for a straight cut, yes. They work great.

I haven't experience of cutting plastic spruces, I cut wires on electronic, the cut is very nit!

Yes, I've cut them for several projects, like book-marks. I've used good scissors. I don't know about the other kind of cutters. good luck.

Probably, but don't know for sure. I use them to cut glass. But the cost is probaby worth a try. If you go to orchard supply or some place similar look at the different wheels (accesories) in the Dremel brand, it should tell you which tool is for cutting metal so u can match with an off brand.

They are metal, and when I use them on fondant, they leave a clean cut. I would think they would do the same for other materials, such as cheese or fruit slices.

Yes, I have trimmed the plastic without the contents falling apart. However I don't think it is a good Idea because over time the corners might begin to come apart. If you have a paper trimmer you can measure the length of the amount of plastic that you want to keep, that will allow you to make straight clean cuts. This way you prevent the corners from coming apart. I hope that makes sense.

Yes, but I think something similar to a Black & Decker 71-120 Hole Saw Assortment [B0009ZAEY8] is better for plastic. Search Amazon for Black & Decker 71-120 Hole Saw Assortment or item number B0009ZAEY8.

I believe they are asking the user to use these on sheet metal and flat banding. Do not use these as wire cutters. If you're cutting flat, not round material all should be well.

Cutting any kind of plastic is no problem, I cut wood and have cut copper to shape a serpents head. The blades are good for everything I do.

NO, you cant cut them..they have glass particles inside of them and you can get hurt...and once they break IF they break you can't use them any more..also dont scrub them with anything rough...

I make reproductions of Neolithic hand tools, I use the blades to cut slots in wood and antler tines, however I can't see why they wouldn't cut sheet plastic. I would adjust the speed of your rotary tool so you are cutting, and not melting the plastic. Hope this helps.

Yes, it's one of the best sprue cutters ever. I've authored several articles for Fine Scale Modeler, Flagship Models & Model Seaways about Tamiya kits and others, and this is the tool in use in those articles.

I also cut them off using a jig saw. The plastic is thick enough and you could easily cut it with a hacksaw.

Honestly I would go with something else these are pretty crappy after using them. They are easy to use but in my opinion id use piranha pruners. Good luck you'll be happy with both but the fiskars have gone down in quality and I no longer use them.

I have only tried them on plastic once and they did ok. I did not have a problem with them running. It may depend on the type plastic you are using as to whether or not it splotches. I have found them to be very durable.

Mine worked very well they are sharper than expected. You just have to keep in mind that they are small, paper, stray beard hairs, gorilla tape. Cut them all pretty good for me.

They would be good as an addition to carving tools. These tools would work good on detail work but not so much for a gross reduction of media.

I bought the set for my son. I have used blades like these and they have no problem cutting thru wood withe the wood blades and the metal blades will cut thru some metals.
