The 80 Series Lindstrom Diagonal Cutters are among the highest quality cutters available to jewelers. Forged from high-grade steel with CNC-machined cutting edges, induction hardened to HRC 63-65, these cutters feature a precision lap joint secured by Lindstrom's innovative combination screw and nut. The handles are covered with comfortable ESD-safe plastic and include dual leaf springs. The high quality materials and engineering know-how ensure perfectly aligned cutting edges and long tool life.
- Micro-Bevel Cut: Designed by Lindstrom to leave the lead end of the cut wire with a smaller surface area and flatter profile than Semi-Flush Cutters. The outside of the wire is "pinched" by the cutter, leaving a much smaller bevel. This design also gives the cutter a greater cutting range.
- Flush Cut: Produces a cut profile similar to the Micro-Bevel, but with a less pronounced bevel and flatter surface. The edges of the cut wire are "pinched", leaving a very narrow, short bevel in the center.
- Ultra-Flush Cut: The precisely aligned and specially designed radii of the cutting edges produce a lead end that is almost entirely flat, with a barely discernable separating line. The ony trade-off is a more limited cutting range.
