Lindstrom 8132 Extra Small Ultra Flush Cut Oval Head Side Cutters

Lindstrom 8132 Extra Small Ultra Flush Cut Oval Head Side Cutters are precision cutting tools engineered for fine, exacting work at the bench. With a jaw length of 8.0mm and a total length of 108mm, these compact cutters deliver a near-flat cut on one end of the wire — making them an essential tool for jewelers and metalsmiths who demand clean, flush results on delicate work.

Part of the Lindstrom 80-Series, these cutters are built to offer unsurpassed cutting performance across a wide range of bench applications. The Ultra Flush cutting edge leaves a flat surface on one side of the item being cut, providing the cleanest possible result of all side cutter edge types.

Features

• Ultra Flush cutting edge leaves a flat surface on one side of the wire being cut
• Oval head jaw design — jaw length 8.0mm, total length 108mm
• Adjustable precision screw joint minimizes friction and maximizes alignment of cutting edges
• Forged from high-grade steel for exceptional impact resistance and resiliency
• Precision induction hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 63–65 — among the highest of any cutters available
• Double leaf springs for smooth, responsive action
• Textured, non-slip handles for secure grip during use

Understanding Lindstrom Cutting Edge Types

• Micro Bevel: Very slight bevel edge for increased strength while cutting. Leaves a slight peak on one side of the wire. Wide cutting range and superior durability compared to Flush cutters.
• Flush: Leaves a practically smooth cut on one side of the wire. More delicate than Micro Bevel; more likely to be damaged if cutting limits are exceeded.
• Ultra Flush: Leaves a flat surface on one side of the wire. Most limited cutting range and greatest sensitivity to misuse. The most delicate of all side cutter edge types.

Specifications

Notes

Important: Lindstrom cutters are not guaranteed. Cutting capacity limits are rated for soft copper wire only. Metal alloys commonly used in jewelry are considerably harder and will reduce effective cutting capacity. All Flush and Ultra Flush cutters are very delicate and must be used within their specified limits.

If tip damage occurs, it is recommended to grind the undamaged side down to match the damaged side and continue use. Dents in the cutting surface indicate that the hardness of the material being cut has exceeded the limits of the cutter. Lindstrom cutters — as commonly used in the jewelry industry — should be considered consumable, labor-saving tools.
