Tronex Nitinol Cutters

What are Nitinol Cutters?
Nitinol Cutters are the same as Tronex Hard Wire Cutters. They are sometimes called Nitinol cutters because this is what is often cut with these tools. However, they are also used to cut wire, ribbon and tubing made of stainless steel, carbon steel tungston, nickel, beryllium copper, and other hard metals.

What are Nitinol Cutters used for?
Nitinol cutters are mostly used in medical device manufacturing. They are often used to manufacture Nitinol stents.

Why are Tronex Nitinol Cutters so special?
Nitinol cutters have very hard cutting edges, harder than the edges of almost all precision hand cutting tools. They also cut VERY fine hard wire, often being used under a microscope.

How are Tronex T Cutters and W Cutters different?

Thinner cutting head

The T Series:

Carbon steel blanks with tungston carbide brazed in cutter jaw
Diamond grinding sharpens the cutting edges
Cutting edges have a hardness of 79 to 81 HRC
