We ship internationally. The prices you see are shown with the VAT applicable to your location. If you live in the UK, prices will be including VAT. If you are from outside the UK, VAT will not be shown nor charged. So EU customers pay no VAT in this shop, but have to expect to pay import duties.
This tube cutter is something you can’t be without as a model builder. It is not to cut tubes for plumbing, but for more delicate, brass tubes up to 8 mm. You can now easily cut a straight piece of a 0.5 mm brass rod or tube of only 1 mm short. The small ruler indicating millimeters makes it easy to measure the desired length of the tube/rod. With a thin or flat saw with fine teeth it is simple to cut multiple exact pieces.
The handle on the tube cutter can be removed, so it can be stuck on a vice. Open de handle on the top to put a tube in the V shaped grove. When you’ve set the correct length, push the handle lightly down to hold the tube in place, then saw through the tube.
The result is always a success. You might need to use some sand paper to clean the cut up.
Watch the video below to see how it works. It’s in Dutch, but it will be obvious how it works.
Tramfabriek & Son
Luc and Sven van der Hart
My name is Sven van der Hart (1970) and live in Eton Wick in England. I started designing the first small model steam tramway locomotive in 2012, as it wasn’t available at that time. Initially it was only for myself, but very soon people discovered that I was making this very detailed loco, and even before it was finished, the first orders came in and the Tramfabriek was born.
For my modelling, I needed specific parts which were hard to find. The parts I couldn't buy, I had made. As I wasn't the only one who was looking for those parts, I shared them on my webstore. With those parts, the customer base started to grow and it became a full time business.
Feel free to contact me if you have a question. I normally respond very quick (remind me, if you didn’t receive an answer in three days, I get a LOT of email).
Regular updates on model building, all my other creative inspiration and behind-the-scenes photos you can find on my Facebook page.
