Raceform RC wheel arc cutter

Raceform RC have introduced their all-new wheel arc cutter for 1/10th scale on-road body shells. The tool is adjustable from 60mm to 70mm diameter and it works with any standard hobby knife blade. The ball-raced design ensures fully round wheel arcs and the secured position design will make sure the tool stays in place even when a second or third cut is necessary, eliminating unsightly second cut lines. Due to the tool’s design the blade is not exposed during cutting, ensuring save and convenient usage with bodies of up to 1mm thickness.
