The tapered head design provides enhanced access to close work areas and fine details while leaving a minimal pinch mark. By cutting at the center of the jaw, the tapered profile also protects the delicate tips from premature damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt with a lap joint construction — where one half overlaps the other and is secured by an adjustable screw — this cutter can be fine-tuned as the joint wears, extending the tool's working life. The double-leaf spring mechanism uses flat, tempered metal tabs mounted inside each handle to hold the jaws open between cuts, delivering a fast, strong rebound that supports productivity during repetitive work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eErgonomic poly handles offer a comfortable, secure grip to reduce hand fatigue during extended bench sessions. This cutter produces a pyramidal tip at the end of the wire, making it particularly well-suited for standard cutting tasks where the final wire shape is not a critical factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser-precision cutting edges for seamless, repeatable results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTapered jaw profile improves access to tight work areas and fine details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-jaw cutting action protects tips from damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLap joint construction with adjustable screw for long-term performance tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-leaf spring mechanism — flat tempered metal tabs provide fast, strong handle rebound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErgonomic poly handles reduce hand fatigue during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces a pyramidal wire tip — ideal for standard cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDurston\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJaw Style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSemi Flush Tapered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJaw Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum Cutting Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.8mm soft copper wire; yellow gold, silver, platinum, and non-ferrous jewelry metals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoly (ergonomic)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMetals to Avoid\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNickel-based white gold alloys\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant — Please Read Before Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Durston cutters are \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e guaranteed. Cutting capacity limits are based on soft copper wire only. Metal alloys commonly used in jewelry are significantly harder and will accelerate wear. Flush cutters of all types are delicate instruments — use the middle of the cutting edge whenever possible and avoid cutting with the tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf tip damage occurs, grind the undamaged side down to match the damaged side and continue use. Dents in the cutting surface indicate the metal being cut exceeds the tool's hardness limits. Durston cutters, and similar products used in the jewelry industry, should be considered consumable, labor-saving tools.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Durston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43584852263126,"sku":"146.1788","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/durston-professional-semi-flush-tapered-cutter-130mm-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719955872","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/durston-semi-flush-tapered-cutter-130mm","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
