Hello Guest! There's a lot to look over, so sit back with a cup of coffee, relax and browse around. We have a great group of ship and boat modelers here, both newbies and old salts, from all over the world. Our goal here is to help each other, without criticism or rebuke. Both newbies and old salts alike can learn from each other. No one has all the answers. Our most basic rule is simple, respect for your fellow members and their opinions.

Default Amati Master Cutter

I just received the Master cutter by amati. They claim that you can cut any angle up to 45 degrees. I can't see how this is possible. when cutting straight there is a space in the bar near the cutting area the same at 45 degrees on both sides. at any other area there is a plastic strip that will be in the way of the blade when cutting. Am I missing something.

Jay

I bought one of these a month ago and have not been impressed, it seems seems cheap, 'plasticky' and overpriced, it does unfortunately seem to be the case with a fair number of Amati tools IMHO.

I also have the Master Cutter. Works OK for straight cuts but not for angles. I use it if I have a lot of pieces that are the same lenght such as bulwarks. .

For angles try a miter/sander type tool to work with your razor-cutter. NorthWest makes one, also Fourmost Products. You can do some very precise work quickly when using the two together, Lee
