Maximum Cutting Specifications Chart

| Material | Max Wire Diameter | Notes |

| Soft Yellow Gold | 0.8 mm | Suitable for soft yellow gold up to this diameter, assuming typical malleability. |

| Silver (.925 Fine) | 0.7 mm | Sterling silver generally requires slightly thinner cuts due to its hardness compared to yellow gold. |

| Copper | 0.9 mm | Copper is typically softer than sterling silver and can often be cut slightly thicker. |

Important Considerations for Cutters:

• Hardness Varies: The actual maximum cutting capacity is highly dependent on the temper (hardness) of the wire. Dead soft wire will be easier to cut than half-hard or full-hard wire of the same diameter.
• Material Composition: Different alloys of gold, silver, and copper can have varying hardnesses.
• Wire Form: The chart assumes round wire. Cutting square or rectangular wire with the same cross-sectional area may be more difficult or exceed the tool's capacity.
• Blade Care: Always cut perpendicular to the wire. Twisting or bending the wire while cutting can damage the blades. Avoid cutting hardened steel wire, memory wire, or very thick materials that are beyond the tool's intended capacity, as this will dull or chip the blades.
• Safety First: Always wear appropriate eye protection when cutting wire to prevent injury from flying debris.
