Manufacturer description

Track Cutters (Super Sharp)

Exclusively made for DCCconcepts. These super sharp cutters have a flat back for a perfect flush cut and have been hardened to the limits to stay sharp. They should be used with one jaw on the bottom of the rail so they cut vertically – doing this gives the cleanest and most stable cut and lessens stress on the tool, lengthening life. Use ONLY for nickel silver, brass or mild steel rail (Do not cut turnout actuators or track pins which will damage the super fine sharp jaws).

Catalogue listing

DCC Concepts Track Cutters (Super Sharp) – part number DCT‑XTC – are a specialised set of rail‑cutting tools produced exclusively for DCCconcepts. The cutters feature a flat back for a flush cut and are hardened to a high degree to retain a super‑sharp edge. They are intended for use on nickel‑silver, brass or mild‑steel model railway track.

For optimal performance the tool should be positioned with one jaw resting on the bottom of the rail so that the cut is made vertically. This method provides the cleanest, most stable cut and reduces stress on the jaws, thereby extending the cutter's service life. The cutters must not be used on turnout actuators or track pins, as these materials can damage the fine cutting edges.
