C.H.P. Milano Small Sprue Cutter Italian - Flush Cut

This cutter is ideal for heavier cutting jobs and for cutting small sprues. Made of high grade tool steel; blackened non-glare head.

Use with up to 14 gauge wire in silver or copper. Wondering what a sprue is? A sprue is created by the channel where molten metal pours into a casting. Once the metal is cooled and solid, the channel is filled with excess metal and is now called a sprue. It looks like a branch coming off the cast piece. This must be cut off with heavy duty pliers and the nub filed and sanded away. Made in Italy.
