Choose Head Shape Based On:

• Oval Head Cutter: The most common head shape for cutting tools. It allows for the maximum amount of "metal" behind the cutting edge delivering on extremely long tool life.
• Tapered Head Cutter: cutters have a cutting edge with a 0.005" bevel, which produces a smaller 'pinch' on the lead/wire than a simi-flush cutter. The smaller bevel means fewer cuts than a simi-flush cutter.
• Tapered/Relieved Head Cutter: This cutter allows for the most access to "hard to reach" areas. In addition to having a diagonal profile, the face has been relieved allowing even greater access.

Choose Cut Type Based On:

• Semi-Flush cutters have a cutting edge with a 0.010" bevel, which produces more cuts than a maximum flush cutter but leaves a 'pinch' on the lead/wire.
• Optimum-Flush Developed to allow the cutting tool to get into those "hard to reach" areas. It was designed more along diagonal lines with less "metal" behind the cutting edge.
• Lazer-Flush cutters have no bevel production a pure, clean cut with no 'pinch' on the lead/wire. the cutting edges are extremely sharp. Cutting life is once again reduced over Semi-Flush or Optimum-Flush Cutters.
