Tronex Miniature Taper Relieved Head Cutters - Flush and Razor Flush

Reach fine soft copper wire beneath components and around obstructions with a miniature tapered cutting head and a relieved, low-profile design. These cutters are designed for exceptionally fine work where larger heads can make it difficult to reach the cutting point.

Choose Flush cutting edges for close cuts with a slight pinch remaining on the wire end, or Razor Flush edges for a nearly flat finish with virtually no raised material. Both cutting styles are available with standard handles or long ergonomic handles, giving you four options to match your cutting requirements and grip preference.

All four models are manufactured in the USA from carbon steel and feature double-sheathed, ESD-safe cushioned grips. Select the cutting finish appropriate for your project and keep the wire diameter within the chosen model's rated capacity.

Features and Benefits

• Miniature Taper Head: Provides a narrow approach to cutting points around small, closely spaced components.

• Relieved Head Profile: Creates additional clearance beneath components and around obstructions.

• Two Cutting Finishes: Choose Flush edges for close cuts or Razor Flush edges for a nearly flat wire end.

• Two Handle Options: Standard handles provide a shorter tool, while long ergonomic handles offer a larger gripping area.

• ESD-Safe Cushion Grips: Double-sheathed grips provide cushioned handling for detailed work in static-sensitive environments.

• Razor Flush Edge Protection: The 5423 and 7423 include a built-in set screw stop to help protect their precision cutting edges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which models are available?

Choose the 5422 Flush cutter with standard handles, 7422 Flush cutter with long ergonomic handles, 5423 Razor Flush cutter with standard handles, or 7423 Razor Flush cutter with long ergonomic handles.

What is the advantage of a miniature taper relieved head?

The small, tapered head helps reach narrow cutting areas, while the relieved profile provides additional clearance beneath components and around obstructions.

What is the difference between Flush and Razor Flush?

Flush edges have a thin bevel that leaves a slight pinch on the wire end. Razor Flush edges have no bevel and leave virtually no raised material, making them useful when a nearly flat cut is important.

Do all four models have the same cutting capacity?

No. The 5422 and 7422 Flush models are rated for soft copper wire from 0.004 to 0.039 inch. The 5423 and 7423 Razor Flush models are rated for soft copper wire from 0.004 to 0.028 inch.

Does choosing longer handles increase cutting capacity?

No. Each long-handle model has the same rated capacity as its corresponding standard-handle model. Choose the handle length based on your hand size and grip preference.

Can these cutters be used on steel or memory wire?

The stated capacities apply only to soft copper wire. They do not establish suitability for steel, memory wire, or other harder materials. Use a cutter specifically rated for the material and diameter you intend to cut.

Are all four models ESD safe?
