Prompted by the discussion on track laying, I've bought an Xuron track cutters.
Is it me, or are they crap? Cut the rails ( Peco code 100 ) top to bottom, cut the rails side to side, use brute force or try to be gentle ( I don't do gentle well ) and the same thing happens - at least one surface is a mangled wreck. Perhaps it's me and I'm living in the past, but I'm back to using my trusty grooved block of wood to hold the rails in place and cutting with my razor saw. Still the Xuron makes a good quality pair of wire cutters I suppose!
Can anyone spot something I'm overlooking? Or is this an over-hyped and unnecessary tool?
