Sharp scribing for detailed model finishing

Achieve crisp lines and subtle surface detail with the Tamiya 74147 0.4mm Fine Engraving Blade. The tungsten carbide edge is built to deliver smooth, uniform engraving for model-makers. It sits within Tamiya's suite of hobby tools for those who want tight control over panel lines and custom etching.

Main advantages of the 0.4mm cutter

Material: Hardened tungsten carbide ensures durability and precise cuts.
Thickness Options: Available in five thicknesses so you can match line width to scale and style.
Compatibility: Designed to work with the Tamiya Engraving Blade Holder (Item 74139) and also compatible with Fine Pin Vise D (Item 74050) and D-R (Item 74112).
Ease of Use: Use at a 45 to 60 degree angle and draw evenly across the surface for clean scribing.
Storage: Includes a holder that keeps up to ten blades organised and protected.
Identification: Colour coded shanks allow quick thickness identification when swapping blades.

Is this blade suitable for curved surfaces?

Yes, with a light touch the 0.4mm blade can follow gentle curves. Keep the part supported and make shallow passes to maintain control.

How do I avoid splitting thin plastic?

Reduce pressure and take multiple light passes rather than forcing a deep cut. Back the piece with a support when possible to prevent flexing.

Can I swap blades quickly during a build?

Yes, the colour-coded shanks make swapping simple. Keep spares in the supplied case and change to the appropriate thickness as your detailing work requires.

Will the Tamiya 74147 blunt quickly?

Tungsten carbide holds its edge longer than steel, but avoid using it on dirty or hardened surfaces. Replace blades showing chips or inconsistent cutting.
