What is the curf for these blades? I need to cut jumprings of 12-20 gauge wire in various metals.

As measured by my digital caliper the thickness of the disk--and, hence, the kerf is .044" or 1.13mm.

Hi, I have this blade and have used it for making jewelry without an issue. You may burn through them quickly though, depending on how often you use it.

I assume you mean "kerf"?.. wheel thickness is .046 "... Dremel part # 426 cutoff wheel is .050" thick but needs a standard screw locking type mandrel vs. EZ Lock.

These are made to cut wire, so plastic should be no problem. The cuts are as clean and flush as they can possibly be. You may still need to sand a little.

they range from MEDIUM to a FINE grit in pack-- I found they to Cut really Well. It all depends on what you cutting, I used to cut Argentum Silver and 14 kt. Gold.

No anything will work. Just depends on how hard your gonna push them. I would recommend getting a pack of the banana clips that are 20$. Saves alot of time and wear on your fingers. And if your gonna push them as hard as I do your gonna want 12 gauge wire. But no smaller than 16 over 200watts. .

Absolutely! I am cutting galvanized 3/16" fencing wire. The copper is much softer and 1/8" would be even easier. You will have no issues with these except they may be slower than the Stakon Cutter Crimpers which is my go-to for Electrical use.

Hey Wareren, .. ok, I took a knife too one of my connectors; though it all looks like copper, I was however, able to cut a surface layer off identifying aluminum. Weight also doesn't line up with what would the weight of 25' of copper cables. I will note, they have worked fine for the occasional use that I had need of them. I still really like the quality connectors, all the rubber, and the carrying case is of better quality than I expected. Personally at this price point & again, for what I'm using them for, I would buy again. Note: Though these are called "commercial duty", I would not buy them for commercial use!

You should have most of your basic sizes on this blade. 8 is the large wire & 22 the small.if you need different than that you will need to change the blades.

If you really need to cut allot of coat hangers I would buy the Xuron 2193 Wire Shears. Xuron 2193 Wire ShearThey are made to cut really hard wire all day long with much greater ease than these Irwin cutters. And they are still fairly compact at only 5.45" long. Just a great tool. If you need a really square cut the Xuron 2193F fits the bill. More costlier though. Xuron 2193F Hard Wire and Music Wire Cutter, with Retaining Clips

I believe they are 16 gauge stainless steel which is better than 18 gauge. Very sturdy and sharp. excellent value. pull the trigger. you won't be sorry.

I have no earthly idea. I have only needed to use it once and my rip fence and saw blade have been dead square ever since. Sorry :(

I wouldn't. The size is probably slightly to small. I have spent a lot of time with 4 and 0 gauge and the best way is still just a razor blade. be careful but you will have the best cuts without any wire coming off.

Go to Prodyne web site. According to info w/my slicer, the wire is $1. They are warranted against breakage. Check it out, or give them a call.

the blades are very sturdy and SHARP the only time I have had any bounce is that I'm cutting something to thick. These blades are bad A?? they work very well on grass and weeds

I think this should work. The gauge of wire these will cut depends on the material. I haven't worked with Kanthal wire, but for reference, the cutters work on 20 ga stainless but not 18 ga (1/2 hard, I think?) but will happily cut 18 ga aluminum.

you want them to be a snug fit. Since there is so much adjustment with these blades, its safe to say 10.5-11.

These cutters are fine for cutting up to about 4mm wire, it's not very fine pointed, good for hobby, I build truck looms and these were inadequate for the job, good grip.

I use 100 psi which drops to 80 during the cutting process. Anything below 70 psi may not clear the metal away from thicker material.
