Make clean, precise cuts on metal, resin, and plastic miniatures with The Army Painter Precision Side Cutter. Crafted from stainless steel with a comfortable safety grip handle, this precision side cutter is built for the demands of miniature modelling — delivering sharp, controlled cuts on sprues, components, and conversion work without the crushing or deforming that cheaper cutters can cause.

Whether you're clipping arms, heads, and weapons from metal blister packs, trimming resin components, or adding battlefield damage and conversion cuts to larger miniatures, the Precision Side Cutter gives you the control and confidence to work cleanly and safely every time.

Key Features
