This is the most popular Lindstrom side cutter made, trusted by professional jewelers and metalsmiths for a wide range of wire-cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flush cutting edge leaves a practically smooth cut on one side of the wire, making these cutters ideal for close-tolerance finishing work. Because they cut practically flush, these cutters are more susceptible to damage when their cutting limitations are exceeded.

Cutting capacity limits printed on the handles are rated for soft copper wire only. Metal alloys commonly used in jewelry are significantly harder and will reduce effective cutting capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll flush-style cutters are delicate precision tools. Dents or damage to the cutting surface indicate that the hardness of the material being cut exceeded the limits of the cutter. If tip damage occurs, it is recommended to grind the undamaged side down to match the damaged side and continue use. Lindstrom cutters and similar precision side cutters, as used in the jewelry industry, should be considered consumable labor-saving devices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lindstrom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43584094339286,"sku":"146.8151","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/lindstrom-8151-medium-oval-head-flush-cut-80-series-side-cutters-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719956407","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/lindstrom-8151-flush-cut-oval-head-80-series-side-cutters","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
