Should I cut tracks vertically or horizontally when using track cutters?
If track cutters are your weapon of choice to cut model railway track with, you may be wondering which way they should be used for the best cut, horizontally or vertically?

The main exception to the rule is when using vertical track cutters, as these are designed specifically for use with a track that's in situ on a layout.
