This is the <strong>L5S set, with styles 1\u20135<\/strong> and one handle. Choose it when you want a compact selection for a first lino project, a small working kit or an introduction to interchangeable cutting heads.<\/p>\n<h3>What is in the set?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>One polypropylene lino handle with an aluminium ferrule.<\/li>\n<li>Five precision-ground high-carbon steel cutters, numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The ferrule allows the cutters to be fitted and tightened in the handle. You can change the cutting head as the design develops rather than needing a separate handle for every profile. The set is for carving: printing blocks, ink, paper and an ink roller are chosen separately.<\/p>\n<h3>Explore the five cutting styles<\/h3>\n<p>Essdee identifies style 1 for fine lines and cross-hatching, while style 2 is a general-purpose line cutter. Style 3 makes a narrow rounded channel; style 4 provides a wider rounded V profile. Style 5 is a line-marking tool for defining a design before clearing the surrounding material.<\/p>\n<p>Try the profiles on a spare piece of your chosen carving material and label the marks. A small reference block helps you choose a cutter for a particular part of the drawing without relying on memory.<\/p>\n<h3>From a drawing to a first proof<\/h3>\n<p>Start with a simple motif and identify the areas that should remain raised to print. Work in stages, switching profiles where the design needs a different mark. Make a trial impression before refining the carving: the printed result can reveal background marks that are less obvious on the block itself.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Essdee&#8217;s fitting and cutting guidance. If you want the wider selection of styles 1\u201310, compare the ten-cutter set before choosing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li><strong>Five cutters:<\/strong> one each of Essdee styles 1\u20135.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High-carbon steel:<\/strong> precision-ground interchangeable cutting heads.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One handle:<\/strong> polypropylene body with an aluminium ferrule.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Varied marks:<\/strong> profiles for line work, outlining and clearing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carving set:<\/strong> lino, ink, printing paper and roller are purchased separately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18287,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[190,355,121,150,80,63],"product_tag":[359],"class_list":["post-391317","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-art-products-under-30","product_cat-back-to-school-sale","product_cat-christmas","product_cat-linocut-tools","product_cat-lino-printing-supplies","product_cat-equipment","product_tag-beginner","pa_brands-essdee","first","instock","sale","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
