Bench Sprue Cutter for RC Builds - Tamiya 69949 Side Cutter Alpha Mint Green  [69949]

Bench-friendly sprue cutter for RC kits

This side cutter is built to trim plastic sprues and small detail components during RC model builds and routine maintenance. Its compact shape reaches into tight assemblies, while the angled cutting face helps remove excess plastic cleanly before fitting or painting.

At the workbench you can use it to separate parts from sprues, trim flash and tidy pieces for test-fitting. Use steady, controlled snips close to the component to reduce stress on thin or fragile sections.

Workshop tips

• Snip at a slight angle and leave a small nub for a final shave with a hobby knife if needed.
• Secure the part in a vise or hold it with fingers clear of the cutter to avoid deforming delicate parts.
• Clean and dry the tool after use to prevent paint or glue build-up around the cutting face.
