Gunprimer RASER vs Generic Glass Files - Should you save the money??
Рет қаралды 81,567
Күн бұрынMany people have been asking me to do a comparison, and here it is! I try to stay un-biased and use some "scientific" evidence to explain the difference between the two--and it's not a huge difference! Let me know down below what you think and which you'd rather pick up.
The Raser can be found at MajinHobby, a store that I've ordered from a good handful of times with no issues:
Gunprimer Raser Products: majinhobby.com/?s=raser&post_...
You can pick up the generic glass file using this Amazon affiliate link:
Generic Glass File: amzn.to/36j797g

Can't wait for other companies to make a glass file mainly for gunpla but with a very competitive price.

Glad that I could help! In my personal opinion, I would just get the Raser/Raser+ by itself instead of the whole set. The Balancer blocks are pretty cheap on their own as well, or you could use any nail buffing block as a substitute. But I hardly find the denim sheets useful, so save the money where you can!

I genuinely love my cheap glass files. The "mild" cutting action leaves more room for my ADHD self, AND I can modify them to a softer/safer cutting action and surface without feeling guilty. For example, sometimes i'll accidentally round corners due to overhang, so to prevent that have 3 that are sealed up with super glue but have a thin nub-sized strip left on an edge or dead-center. This lets me cut the nub without having to worry about damaging the rest of the part due to misperception or me just being an idiot in a rush. I'll probably buy the raser when i get into MG kits, but i suspect by then i will have little use.

If it works, it works! Ultimately the Raser, in my opinion, is a little bit more of a timesaver. If you’re cranking out kits, it might be worth your while, but that’s if time is important to you when building

the key difference between generic files is whether the cutting surface is circular or linear. the linear patterns one only cut in one direction and produces scratches. just be careful that not all generic files are the same
