Lindstrom 8142 Ultra Flush-Cut Small Oval Head 80 Series Side Cutters

The Lindstrom 8142 is an Ultra Flush-Cut side cutter from the professional 80 Series, featuring a small oval head jaw design. With a jaw length of 10 mm and a total length of 110 mm, this cutter delivers a near-flat cut on one end of the wire — ideal for precision work requiring the cleanest possible cut surface. Maximum cutting capacity is 1.00 mm soft copper wire.

The Lindstrom 80 Series is engineered for unsurpassed cutting performance across a wide range of bench applications. Ultra Flush cutting edges leave a flat surface on one side of the item being cut, making them the most refined edge option in the 80 Series lineup.

Features

• Ultra Flush cutting edge leaves a flat surface on one side of the wire
• Small oval head jaw design, 10 mm jaw length
• Adjustable precision screw joint minimizes friction and maximizes alignment of cutting edges
• Forged from high-grade steel for exceptional impact resistance and resilience
• Precision induction hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 63–65, among the highest of any cutters available
• Double leaf springs for smooth, consistent action
• Textured surface non-slip handles for secure grip

Cutting Edge Comparison

• Micro Bevel: Slight bevel edge for increased strength; leaves a slight peak on one side of the cut wire. Widest cutting range and superior durability.
• Flush: Leaves a practically smooth cut on one side. More susceptible to damage if cutting limits are exceeded.
• Ultra Flush: Leaves a flat surface on one side. Most limited cutting range; most delicate of all side cutter edge types. Greater possibility for edge damage due to misuse.

Notes

Important: Lindstrom cutters are not guaranteed. Cutting limits printed on the handles are for soft copper wire only. Metal alloys commonly used in jewelry are significantly harder. All flush-type cutters are very delicate.

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 the hardness of the metal being cut has exceeded the cutter's limits. Lindstrom cutters, as commonly used in the jewelry industry, should be considered consumable labor-saving tools.
