Make holes and rounded openings in your clay work with these four Royal & Langnickel semi-round cutters. The different widths let you choose an opening to suit your design, from a decorative clay panel to a modelled ornament.
What is included?
- 4 separate clay cutters in different widths.
- Each cutter has a wooden handle and a semi-round metal cutting head.
The open, curved metal head removes clay. The wooden part is the handle that lets you guide the tool by hand.
Choose a width for your design
Use a narrow cutter for small openings and a wider one for larger cutouts. Try the selected head on a scrap of the same clay first to see its shape and how much material it removes before working on your piece.
Cutting holes in workable clay
Work while the clay is still easy to cut. Place the piece on a stable surface and support thin areas around the planned opening. Ease the cutting head into the clay, turn gently if needed and remove small amounts at a time. Clear loose clay from the open head as you work. Let the cutter work through the clay without forcing it.
Cleaning and storage
Remove clay residue before it hardens and dry the metal after cleaning. Wipe the wooden handles rather than soaking them for long periods. Keep fingers out of the cutting direction and protect the cutting heads during storage.
