Lindstrom 8130 Extra Small Micro Bevel Oval Head 80 Series Side Cutters

The Lindstrom 8130 is an extra small Micro-Bevel oval head side cutter from the professional 80 Series line — engineered for precision cutting tasks that demand both accuracy and durability. With a jaw length of 8.0mm and a total length of 108mm, this compact cutter delivers a maximum cutting capacity of 1.0mm soft copper wire, making it well suited for fine detail work at the bench. The Micro-Bevel cutting edge leaves a near-flat cut on one end of the wire, with a very slight bevel that significantly increases edge strength and overall tool longevity compared to flush-style cutters.

Lindstrom's 80 Series represents unsurpassed cutting capacity across a wide range of applications, built to the exacting standards that professional jewelers and metalsmiths rely on every day.

Features

• Micro-Bevel cutting edge delivers a near-flat cut on one side of the wire while providing superior durability over flush and ultra-flush options
• Adjustable precision screw joint minimizes friction and maximizes alignment of the cutting edges for consistent performance
• Forged from high-grade steel for exceptional impact resistance and resiliency
• Precision induction hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 63–65, ranking among the highest of any cutters available
• Double leaf springs with textured, non-slip handle surfaces for comfortable, controlled use
• Oval head jaw design optimized for a wide variety of cutting applications

Cutting Edge Guide

• Micro-Bevel: Very slight bevel edge for increased strength. Leaves a slight peak on one side of the cut wire. Widest cutting range and greatest durability — recommended for most applications.
• 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 and greatest risk of edge damage from misuse — the most delicate option.

Notes

Important: 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 reduce effective cutting capacity. All flush-style cutters are especially delicate and should be used with care.

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 material being cut has exceeded the cutter's limits. Lindstrom cutters and similar precision side cutters, as used in the jewelry industry, should be considered consumable labor-saving devices.
