High Precision Cutter from IDEAL-TEK
The 5540 is a high precision cutter in the "small tapered and relieved cutter" category, designed for precise access in confined areas and for robust, semi-flush cuts. The cutter comes with an ESD Ergo-tek slim handle in TPE + PP for electrostatic protection and features hardened steel blades.
Description
The 5540 has a small, tapered & relieved head geometry, which provides better access to small areas. The cutting edge is semi-flush, suitable for robust cuts. The blades are hardened to 67 HRC, and the body is made of 100Cr6 (high carbon-chromium low alloy steel) with a sandblasted finish. The overall length (OAL) is 120.0 mm and the tip thickness (F) is 0.30 mm.
Typical Applications
- Access to small areas where small, tapered & relieved head geometry is necessary.
- Performing robust cuts using a semi-flush cutting edge.
- Working in contexts where ESD protection is required for components or environments (the handle is specified as ESD Ergo-tek).
- Cutting soft wires within the specified cutting capacity of 0.20–1.20 mm (32–17 AWG).
