A precision flush cutter that removes parts from plastic sprues without damage, is comfortable to hold in any size hand, cuts fast, and has an internal return spring is available from Xuron Corp. (Saco, ME). The Xuron® Model 2175A Maxi-Shear™ Flush Cutter is ideal for degating plastic parts from sprues because it employs “by-pass cutting” to achieve a clean, flat cut, rather than squeezing and deforming the parts like conventional compression-type cutters. Designed to fit comfortably in large and small hands and cut rapidly, it has soft rubber grips, a Light Touch™ return spring, and a glare-eliminating black finish that is easy on the eyes.
