Cutting Edge Types — 80 Series Overview

Lindstrom 80 Series cutters are available in three cutting edge configurations. This model features the Flush edge:

• Micro-Bevel: Slight bevel edge for increased strength. Leaves a minor peak on one side of the cut wire. Widest 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 — cutting limits must not be exceeded to avoid edge damage.
• Ultra-Flush: Leaves a flat surface on one side of the cut. Most limited cutting range and greatest sensitivity to misuse. The most delicate of all 80 Series edge types.

Specifications

Notes

Important — Please Read Before Use: Lindstrom cutters are not guaranteed. Cutting capacity limits printed on the handles apply to soft copper wire only. Metal alloys commonly used in jewelry are significantly harder and will exceed those limits.

All Flush-type cutters are inherently delicate. Exceeding cutting limitations may result in edge damage. Dents in the cutting surface indicate that the hardness of the material being cut surpasses the cutter's design limits.

If tip damage occurs, it is recommended to grind the undamaged side down to match the damaged side and continue use. Lindstrom cutters, as used in the jewelry industry, should be regarded as consumable labor-saving devices.
