When to choose it
Choose the #3 small U when you want a rounded channel, such as a curved highlight cut out of an inked shape. It works in a different way from a pointed V and clears a narrower lane than the #5 large U. Match the profile to the space between the raised lines you want to print.
Both pieces in this pack have the same profile. Use one and keep a matching spare, or equip two handles with the same cut. The assorted pack is more useful if your work also calls for a scoring knife or a different channel shape.

Questions about this product
Which shape should I pick for a rounded highlight?
Try the small U in a spare corner. Check whether its rounded channel leaves enough material between the lines you want to keep.
Would a larger U save time in open background areas?
A wider U removes a broader strip per pass. Keep the #3 for tighter clearances near the edges of your design.
Can I replace just this profile in the five-tip kit?
Yes. The #3 matches the small U profile in the compatible Speedball assortment.
