Cutting capacity limits reference soft copper wire only—metal alloys commonly used in jewelry are significantly harder. All flush cutters are delicate instruments. Use the middle of the cutting edge whenever possible, and exercise particular care when cutting near the tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid cutting nickel-based white gold alloys. If tip damage occurs, grinding the undamaged side to match the damaged side can extend the usable life of the tool. Dents in the cutting surface indicate the metal being cut exceeds the cutter's hardness limits. As commonly used in the jewelry industry, flush cutters should be considered consumable, labor-saving tools.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Durston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43584850559190,"sku":"146.1791","price":67.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/durston-professional-front-flush-end-cutter-115mm-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719955875","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/it\/products\/durston-professional-front-flush-end-cutter-115mm","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
