Explore Xuron photo-etch tools for working with small metal details on scale models. Removing a part from its fret carefully helps preserve the shape you need for later cleanup, folding and installation.
Separate Fine Photo-Etched Details
Locate the attachment tab and keep the part supported while you cut. Select a tool suited to the specific metal and thickness; specialist photo-etch scissors are not general-purpose wire cutters. Once the part is free, inspect the attachment area and use an appropriate holding or forming tool for the next step. Check each tool’s limits before working on an expensive detail set.
Support the Detail at the Cut
Cutting is only one part of the job. Plan how you will hold and support the work, inspect the result and complete any cleanup or forming that follows. A tool that fits the material and access available can make detailed work easier to control. Keep each tool within its stated limits and compare models before adding a new capability to your bench.
Check the Exact Xuron Model
Use the product title and model number to identify the tool you need, then review the description for its jaw style, cutting range and any special features. Where the tool includes a return spring, retaining feature or a particular grip design, confirm that feature on the selected listing. Similar model numbers do not guarantee the same capacity or application.
