Gate cutters are essential hand tools for injection molders for trimming molded parts free from the gate.
While there are many types of gate cutters available, Xuron Corporation’s Model 2175A Plastic Cutter is a cost effective, high quality option for injection molders.
Xuron Corporation’s 9000 Series precision wire cutters provide durability, ergonomic design and excellent value. Offered with oval , tapered and extra-tapered head configurations, these cutters can be used for a wide variety of applications from trimming component lead wires to copper wire to telecommunications cables.
Whatever you call them, cable ties, tie wraps or zip ties, you want to cut them with a tool that will cut flush to the termination point and will leave a smooth cut surface.
Xuron Corp.’s Model 2275 Cable Tie Cutter offers an excellent solution for cutting smaller plastic and/or nylon ties (up to 7 mm wide) used to bundle wire, cords and multiple other uses.
When trimming lead wires from printed circuit boards, the last thing you want is to have the cut-off wires flying back onto the PCB and potentially causing damage. Solution — Xuron® MIcro-Shear® Flush Cutters with Lead Retainers.
The Lead Retainer is a low profile metal “clip” that is installed during the manufacturing process.
“The cutting edges don’t line up, is this tool defective” ? This is the single most frequently asked question (with regard to our Cutters). The answer is, No, this tool is just as it should be and the benefit is in the results.
When you see that the cutting edges don’t align perfectly, what you are noticing is Xuron Corp.’s Micro-Shear® blade bypass cutting method. Rather than two sharp edges meeting perfectly, our cutting edges are designed so that one slightly bypasses the other for a shearing type of cut. This graphic that is printed on our packaging sleeve illustrates how it works:
