FAQs

What makes this cutter ideal for hard-wire applications?

It’s equipped with tungsten carbide inserts that maintain sharpness through repeated use on tough materials like stainless steel and piano wire. The inserts are fused into a rigid carbon steel body for maximum strength and durability. This design ensures consistent performance even in high-demand production environments.

What is the advantage of Laser-Flush® cutting?

Laser-Flush geometry produces exceptionally clean, burr-free cuts with minimal residual wire tail. This precision finish reduces rework and enhances the overall quality of assemblies. It’s especially valuable in industries that require high-accuracy results, such as electronics and medical manufacturing.

How does the medium taper head improve accessibility?

The medium taper profile provides a balance between cutting strength and maneuverability. It allows access to densely populated areas or confined spaces without sacrificing precision. This makes it a versatile option for technicians working on detailed assemblies.

Can this cutter be used in ESD-sensitive or cleanroom environments?

Yes, it’s designed with cushioned ESD-safe grips to prevent static discharge. The smooth, corrosion-resistant surfaces make it suitable for cleanroom and laboratory applications. It ensures safe use with delicate electronic components and contamination-controlled setups.

How long does the cutting edge typically last?

The tungsten carbide blades are hardened to 79–81 Rockwell C, significantly extending tool life compared to standard cutters. They resist chipping and dulling even under heavy, repetitive cutting cycles. With proper maintenance, the tool delivers consistent performance for years.
