DSPIAE | AT-AC
Angle Cutting Station
Set the angle, set the length, then cut the same piece again and again — identical every time.
⚠️ For plastic and soft materials — not for metal
Styrene strip, rod and tube, ABS and soft woods such as balsa. Cutting brass, aluminium or wire will damage the blade. For metal stock, use a razor saw or a cutting disc.
🎯 Why this one is different
Cutting one piece of styrene strip by hand is easy. Cutting twenty that are all the same length, at the same angle, for a railing, a truss or a frame, is where a knife and a steel rule start to let you down. Every mark is a fraction out, every cut drifts a little, and it shows the moment the parts sit side by side.
The AT-AC takes the measuring out of it. You set the angle once and the length once, lock both knobs, and every cut after that comes out the same. Feed the strip up to the stop, press the handle, repeat. The blade comes straight down, so the cut is clean and square to the face rather than a sliced, angled knife edge.
DSPIAE's own test: 8 pieces in 30 seconds with the station, against 4 by the traditional method. More useful than the speed, though, is that all eight are the same.
📦 What's in the box
✔ 1 × DSPIAE AT-AC angle cutting station, blade fitted
✔ 1 × silicone anti-slip pad
✔ 4 × spanners for adjustment
Worth knowing: the blade is a wear part. When it starts to crush rather than cut, the DSPIAE CJB-01 replacement blade fits this station and is sold separately.
⚙️ How it works
1. Set the angle. Turn the left knob to rotate the guide to the angle you want. A pointer and engraved scales on both sides show where you are, and the adjustment is stepless — not limited to fixed notches.
2. Set the length. Use the right knob to move the two guide blocks. The gap between them sets how long each piece will be, from 3 mm up to 49 mm.
3. Lock both knobs. Tighten them before you cut so nothing creeps during a run.
4. Feed and cut. Push the strip to the stop, press the handle down, slide the next length in. No re-measuring and no extra tools.
✅ How it is built
▪ Stepless 180° angle scale. Any angle you need for mitres, bevels and chamfered ends, read off engraved scales on both sides.
▪ Twin guide blocks. Set the length once and every piece matches. This is where the repeatability comes from.
▪ German-made blade. Sharp, durable and rust-free, and replaceable when it wears (CJB-01).
▪ Stainless steel roller balls. Fitted inside the mechanism so the guide rotates smoothly when you change angle.
▪ Adjustable handle damping. A bolt shaft sets how stiff the handle feels, so you can make it firmer for control or lighter for long runs. The wavy grip is shaped to sit in the palm.
▪ 158 × 158 mm working area. Room for long strips and rods, on a silicone pad that keeps the station from sliding across the bench.
🔨 What you will use it for
Railings, ladders and trusses. Dozens of identical rungs, posts and braces from styrene strip and rod.
Mitred frames. Window frames, picture frames, diorama borders and display plinth edging, with corners that close up.
Scratch building and kitbashing. Repeatable parts for sci-fi detailing, terrain, vehicles and structures.
Railway and architectural models. Fencing, sleepers, cladding strips and beams, all to the same length.
Balsa and soft wood. Clean, repeatable cuts for RC aircraft parts and wooden models.
💡 Getting the best from it
1. Test cut first. Set up, cut one piece, measure it, then adjust. A minute spent here saves a pile of wrong parts.
2. Square the end before a run. Trim the first end of the strip clean, then start your run from that edge. The first piece will match the rest.
3. Hold the strip down, not under the blade. Keep fingers on the stock well away from the cutting line. The handle does the work.
4. One firm press. A single decisive press cuts cleaner than a slow, hesitant one, which tends to crush soft plastic.
5. Mitres come in pairs. For a frame, cut all the left-hand ends, flip the angle, then cut all the right-hand ends. Faster and more consistent than alternating.
6. Change the blade before it crushes. When ends start to look pinched or burred, the edge has gone. Swap in a fresh CJB-01 rather than pressing harder.

⚖️ Worth knowing — honest limitations
No metal. Brass, aluminium and wire will damage the blade. It is a plastic and soft-wood tool.
The length stops are for short pieces. The guide blocks set repeat lengths from 3 to 49 mm. Longer pieces can still be cut at your chosen angle, but you mark the length yourself.
The blade is a consumable. Sharp blades cut clean; tired ones crush. Keep a spare CJB-01 if you cut in volume.
Worth it for volume work. If you only ever cut a handful of pieces of strip, a good knife and rule will do. This earns its place when you need many identical parts.
Sharp blade. Keep fingers away from under the blade, work on a flat solid surface, and keep out of reach of children under 14.
