Knipex 72 01 140 Workshop PVC side cutter flush-cutting 140 mm

Compact side-cutting pliers for plastic and other soft materials

Why special side-cutting pliers are needed for plastic

For wire side cutters, the blades are ground so that a wedge-shaped cut toward the center of the cut material is achieved. This wedge will eventually blow apart the material to be separated. The wire ends, which are separated in such a way, therefore have wedge-shaped separating surfaces. However, when cutting molded parts and fittings, flush, smooth cutting is desired so that as few rework is possible during deburring. Thus, a side cutter used here must not have a facet toward the workpiece, so that a straight cutting surface is created. The Knipex side-cutting pliers 72 01 140 were specially developed for plastics and other soft materials. Its blades are flat ground.

For flush-fitting deburring after injection molding

When molded parts have to be mechanically separated from the casting after removal, the Knipex 72 01 140 is used. Its planar cut-off surfaces lead to clean, flush cut-off. The die is cut off directly at the molding part because the cutting edge runs flat on the workpiece.

With opening spring to relieve the user - compact and stable

For work in production processes such as plastic injection molding, the work steps are repeated many times. Users who often separate fittings from molded parts therefore appreciate the opening spring on the 72 01 140. Weighing 140 mm in length and 125 g, the Knipex plastic side cutter is pleasantly compact - and still sturdy. We forged wire cutters 72 01 140 made from vanadium electric steel, and ensure high resistance in oil by heating and quenching and drying.
