Tamiya 74111 Fine Craft Handsaw with Handle

An excellent piece of kit, especially useful when working with resin model kits.

There are many saws of this type on te market, but they tend to be poor quality and either fall apart or rip your model to pieces. Tamiya is a name you can trust so I plumped for this one. The saw blades are quite thick, so these are no good for real precision work; having said, we're only talking a millimetre so it works for most applications. It was sharp, effective and cut through resins, soft woods and plastics with no issues at all. this is a must have for any modeller that likes to create conversions

Marked down a star because the handle is plastic. The blades are what matters and they are very fine blades, perfect for making clean cuts in plastic model kits.

Excellent small saw.

Picked this up to help me remove parts of plastic Warhammer models during magnetisation It’s incredibly sharp! It saws through plastic and resin like it’s butter. Absolutely brilliant tool. My only comment would be that the nature of the tool and blades means they’re a little “floppy” because they’re so thin, but once you’ve used it once or twice (so practice first) you’ll get the hang of it.

I'm building a 1/350 scale model of HMS Illustrious and I want to try and recreate the detail seen on the actual ship. Some pieces need to be removed and replaced with photo etched parts and this miniature saw is perfect for the job. The serrated blade is very sharp so care is needed, but it saws through plastic very easily, with minimum effort. Recommended with 5 stars from me.

Blades are a nice thickness so don't flex all over the place. Ideal for separating resin parts from there moulding mounts. Meant for modelling only.

Good quality tool, with two blades. Very sharp and accurate, but larger blade is prone to bending and distortion at certain angles.

Les lames sont très facile à insérer et à fixer solidement. L'outil tient bien en main. La lame fine est flexible mais ne se déforme pas tant que la flexion reste endéans certaines limites. J'utilise cet outil pour percer des orifices rectangulaires dans des plaques d'aluminium (épaisseur 1.5 à 2mm) qui me servent à réaliser des boîtiers électroniques. Un avant-trou de 2.5mm est suffisant pour démarrer le sciage au milieu de la plaque. Un peu de patience et de soin pour créer la rainure mais après tout va très vite (et très droit). Finissage à la lime. Excellent outil pour ce genre de petite opération de précision.

Great product

Ein weiteres schönes und nützliches "Tamiya"-Werkzeug in meiner Modellbauwerkstatt. Die kleine Säge liegt prima in der Hand und ist weit weg von den Billig-Produkten. Die Sägeblätter sind sauber ausgeführt und stabil; wie auch andere Käufer schreiben bin ich auch der Meinung, das die Zähnung etwas feiner sein könnte oder ein feinerer, zweiter Satz Blätter beigefügt sein könnte. Das wäre mir auch noch ein paar Euro mehr wert gewesen. Aber auch so ein tolles Werkzeug. Fazit: prima Qualität, die ich sofort wieder kaufen würde.

Excellent saw! Handle is a good shape, blades are top quality made by OLFA Japan. Designed to work best when pushed instead of pulled.

Funkar jättebra!
