In early April I had the pleasure of attending (as a non-selling vendor) the Southern Maine Scale Modeler’s Annual Model Contest, Downeastcon. This event attracted scale model builders from Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts and beyond.
Wire Retaining Clip Keeps Your Workspace Neater
Wire, wire, wire. If you love working with wire but don’t love those tiny cut-off bits that litter your workspace, we have just the solution. Xuron®’s Model 9100F Oval Head Micro-Shear® Flush Cutter comes equipped with a magic “wire retaining clip” that holds cut-off wire pieces.
Yes, Xuron Corporation makes Wire Strippers
Xuron Corporation is so well know for our Micro-Shear® Flush Cutters that it can be easy to overlook that fact that we also manufacture a variety of wire strippers.
Applications ranging from wire harness manufacturing to factory maintenance and repair to changing a lighting fixture all require that the outer jacket of the wire be removed (stripped) prior to joining the wires or installing connectors.
Relax With Your Favorite Hobby or Craft Project
Not long ago I read an article about the health benefits associated with having a hobby – something that helps take your mind from the everyday stresses of life and allows for relaxation and fun. So, I decided to rekindle one of my childhood obsessions and attempt to re-learn crochet and the art of the granny square. With the help of YouTube and some great blog sites, I was cranking out the squares in no time. The simple rhythm of the stitches is hypnotic and it truly does bring a sense of calm and relaxation (unless the cat decides to grab the skein of yarn and run around the house).
The Mystery of the Micro-Shear® Flush Cutter
“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:
