Paint Cutters

Paint Cutters for Aircraft Maintenance

Paint cutters are designed to help reduce paint chipping during the screw removal process by cutting a ring in the paint around the screw head.  Sized to fit standard aircraft fastener heads, with paint cutter sizes ranging from .254 to .462.

Paint cutters are specialized tools used in aircraft maintenance to precisely remove paint layers from surfaces without damaging the underlying material. These tools are essential for tasks such as preparing areas for inspection, repainting, or repair, ensuring that the aircraft's structural integrity and surface condition remain intact. Paint cutters are designed with sharp, durable blades or abrasive elements that allow technicians to efficiently strip coatings from metals, composites, and other materials. Their precise operation minimizes the risk of over-removal or surface contamination, which is critical in aviation maintenance. By facilitating controlled and effective paint removal, paint cutters support compliance with strict aviation standards, improve maintenance efficiency, and preserve the appearance and functionality of aircraft components.
