72 02 125Diagonal Cutters for plastics The Knipex 72 02 125 are the smallest Knipex diagonal cutters for plastic. They are used when moulded parts need to be mechanically separated from sprue after demoulding. They are also suitable for delicate work, e.g. in model making. Their surface ground cutting faces produce a clean, flush separation of extruded plastic injection moulds and sprues or sprue residues. The sprue is cut off directly on the moulded part, because the cutting edge runs parallel to the component. Key Features : - Cutting face flush - For nearly flush cutting of moulded plastic components from sprues - Cuts soft materials such as lead in a flush cut - With opening spring
