CORP. and is applied only to our products which utilize our patented, blade by-pass Conventional wire cutters utilize a compression-type cut,with the advancing cutting edges forcing the metal of thewire out of their way.Micro-Shearby-pass cutting edges slicing cleanly through the metal(see illustration at bottom of adjacent page).Shear cutting greatly reduces mechanical shock delivered to the component and requires only about half the effort to cut a wire as compared to conventional compression-type wire cutters.WhatÕs the difference between a Micro-Shearcutter and a conventional wire cutter?All primary cutting surfaces on our 170-II, 410 and LXSeries Micro-Shearflush cutters are generated on highprecision, three microprocessor-controlled, self diagnos-tic grinding equipment. The grinding on every blade is asprecisely identical to that on every other blade as theircomputer controlled tolerances allow. It is also exactlyeÕre not suggesting any company use XURON Micro-Shearflush cutters instead of these other greatjust because your requirements call for ÒeconomicallyWhy do Micro-ShearXURON Micro-Shearflush cutters ensure durability bydesign. LetÕs use a little basic physics to illustrate how:If you generate 10 pounds of pressure on the grips of aconventional, compression-type wire cutter to cut a wire,that 10 pounds of force must be dissipated somewhere(Law of Conservation of Energy). Part of it is dissipatedinto

the severed section of wire, which is wh
the severed section of wire, which is why it sailsacross the room. A portion travels down the lead wireand is dissipated into the component or solder joint,SHEARFACTSwhich can cause damage. The balance is dissipated intothe opposing cutting edge of the cutter, which is whyUsing a Micro-Shearflush cutter requires only about halfthe pressure (approximately 5 pounds) to cut the samewire. Part of the force is dissipated into the severedtion of the wire. But if you're using our patented leadetainer the wire wonÕt sail across the room. Because ofor solder joint; the rest is dissipated into the opposingcutting jaw. Because of our blade by-pass, edge-to-edgecontact is eliminated and the life of our Micro-Shearflush cutterÕs precision cutting edges is extended.What is the difference between a stamped tool and adrop-forged tool?ecision stamped Micro-Shearmore in common with precision drop-forged tools thanwith conventional drop-forged tools. The most obvious difference is that the blank shape of adrop-forged tool is created from hot metal. A stampedtool does not require heat at this stage. Beyond this pointthe differentiation becomes less distinct.In conventional drop-forging a crude, basic shape iscreated. With precision drop-forging a more refinedshape with reference points for subsequent grindingoperations is created. Conventional drop-forged toolstypically then undergo hand-guided grinding operations.With precision

drop-forged tools these grinding operationsare usually done with computer controlled machinesutilizing the reference marks on the blank. When we manufacture precision stamped Micro-Shearflush cutters a refined shape, complete with referencepoints for our computer controlled grinding operations,generated in the stamping process.All tools, regardless of the method of manufacture,have to be heat treated. In the electronics industry returnsprings and cushion grips are required. The distinctionbetween drop-forged and stamped tools is furtherblurred since, due to the high density areas electronicspliers are required to be able to work in, one of themore popular head configurations on drop-forgedtools is the Òrelieved head.Ó On these tools additionaloperations remove head stock to reduce thetool's profile, increasing access and maneuverability.The result Is a head shape very similar to our standardXURON Micro-Shearflush cutter.Compression cutter bladesThis is a cross section viewof a XURON Micro-Shearflush cutter from the tip end.a very important patented feature thatesults in a clean square cut with no9100LH Oval Head Same tough alloyed steel,heat treating,grinding and ergonomicshape combined with added grips.Reducespressure on operatorÕs at any Flush cuts soft wire up to 12 AWG9200 Tapered Head The same tough alloyed steel,heat treating and ultra-preciseCNC grinding with a tapered headpered head design allows positi

All hand tools, by definition, are ergonomic, otherwiseeally important are the ergonomic enhancements thatseveral different aspects:1. ForceÑ The amount of force required to use a toolincludes the force necessary to overcome resistance injoints and any return spring(s) in addition to the forceactually required to cut, grasp or bend. XURON manufactures only Micro-Shearwire cutters. Their patented shearing cut requires about half the force equired by a conventional compression-style cutter to cut wire. High precision screw and post joints on the 9000 Series reduce internal friction and our return springs provide lively action with low operating pressure.ÑA number of factors determine if a handtool is comfortable: the shape of the grip and its size,the amount of contact surface with the hand and thecontour of the contact surface, the resiliency of the gripmaterial, and the overall weight of the tool; all influencecomfort of the tool should be apparent the moment itÕsMicro-ShearFlush Cutter grips feature broad, flat con-surfaces molded from Xuro-Rubberª.
