Description
The original Micro-Shear Flush Cutter that started it all. Awarded US Patent 3774301, this 5-inch cutter uses Xuron's patented blade bypass method to shear electronic leads, plastic sprues, and copper wire up to 18 AWG (1 mm) flush to the board surface — leaving no sharp stubs. The slim oval profile slips into densely populated PCB areas where standard cutters can't reach.
Made in the USA
Manufactured at Xuron's 14,000 sq ft facility at 62 Industrial Park Road, Saco, Maine.
