Do you really need a saw?, I find an acrylic cutter better for thicker plastic card.

I agree but it depends on the brittleness of the plastic being cut. For styrene I use the Tamaya plastic scriber, for brittle plastic I use the X-Acto razor saws which I have in various sizes. Thicker Acrylic sheets I have used a large band saw, fine toothed blade on a slower speed setting

I bought a new xacto razor saw at Warley and already hate it intensely, it rotates in the handle and gives sqiffy cuts. With Hal Nail's recommendation I've just ordered one of the Tamiya ones - otherwise I'd intended to do a like-for-like replacement of my previous saw which was https://www.amazon.co.uk/Modelcraft-Zona-PSA35-400-Quality-Razor/dp/B01DPUGL7W/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=6WRqx&content-id=amzn1.sym.9987c01f-79a1-401b-8cc0-4469362e1651&pf_rd_p=9987c01f-79a1-401b-8cc0-4469362e1651&pf_rd_r=0SVDMR76K3B6T15RYT1G&pd_rd_wg=kCJbL&pd_rd_r=3e8903eb-c94d-431c-8e84-07f4abce6035&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m

Must admit I like the Zona saws, good quality and well made, but the Yorkshireman in me baulks at not being able to buy replacement blades singularly!

Exacto are not what they used to be,i boought one of these, Zona SA35/050 35-050 52tpi Razor Saw  from Amazon.

 

Super sharp.

My Tamiya razor saw has a arrived and been taken for a quick 'test drive' - now everything in my workshop is trembling in fear - its really good - thanks for the recommendation!

I, too, bought the suggested Tamiya one and it arrived yesterday. Just no comparison between it and my Xacto one. It cuts beautifully and more importantly straight! Cheers

Ditto for the Zona version - I used the 32 and 52 TPI versions for the first time today, and have now ordered the 42 TPI one.

Tamiya or at least their dealers must be wondering what is going on.

 

My saw arrived yesterday.

 

Super and it's a pull saw as well.
