When to choose it

Buy this pack when the fine Essdee Style 1 is already the profile you use for close hatching or small marks. Essdee gives 0.5 mm or less as a possible line on its SoftCut material. That figure describes a cut under those conditions, rather than a fixed blade width or a promise on every block.

Five identical tips make sense if several people use the same cut or you want matching spares. If you are still choosing between hatching and clearing profiles, start with the mixed handle set or a mixed refill pack for the handle you have.

Fit and buying advice

Use with a compatible Essdee handle. Try the planned spacing on scrap because a fine groove can fill with ink.

Documentation

Questions about this product

What does the advertised 0.5 mm refer to?

Essdee describes a possible line on SoftCut. Groove width varies with the depth and the material.

What should I check before buying for a different handle?

Match the shank and locking system with the maker. The name or profile number alone does not establish compatibility.

How do I check whether close hatching will stay visible?

Make a proof on a small test cut. Inspect whether the closely spaced grooves still show after inking.
