Would you recommend these cutters for use in precision work, like wire-wrapping and jewelry making?

Yes, That's the way I use mine.. I would not cut anything really hard though.. Copper, Silver and Gold should be OK though

It is a fine tool for precision work, I use it for small electronics, but I imagine it would be fine for jewelry making.

Quite a cheap cutter, does not hold it's edge very well, for light work it's ok, Xcelite cutters are much better and I use them everyday, building truck looms, available from Amazon, hope this helps you.
626703
yes I would say so. I used to do wire wrapping for electronics and these would certainly work there. i'm sure they will do well on jewelry as well.

These do work, but the rubber grip will slowly pull down off the handle, and the cutters will chip after a few uses, if you do a lot of wire cutting, but still works pretty good. I use it for jewelry, and cutting wire

Yes. That's what I've been using it for. Be sure to watch the gauge of the metal you are cutting versus the maximum gauge that the cutter is rated for.

My wife uses them for utility and craft work (ie. cutting cardboard, paper, etc.) I asked her about fabric, and she said she has never tried. It will cut crafting wire like the description says.

I would not use them for cutting tin. It would destroy or dull them immediately. I used them for fine cutting such as paper, cloth, etc. I mainly bought them for scrapbooking projects.

The micro cutters will easily give you a precision cut on braided fishing line, I have used them to trim braided nylon, braided silica wicks, Kanthal wire from 28 to 32 gauge without having to re-trim due to fraying. The tool works very well.

I haven't used it much, but it is small. Probably best suited for thicknesses of one or two pieces of stained glass stacked and cutting intricate shapes. Might be faster than all the cuts necessary with a regular hand held cutter. Other than that my suggestion would be a larger type wet saw with rotary diamond blade...maybe even industrial size with a 10 inch blade. Probably would be faster, and blade last much longer. Just my opinion though. best regards

Sorry, I bought these for wood carving. My daughter, who is a chef recommended them to me. She cuts and uses these for all kinds of preparation.

Yes, I believe you could cut them with a hacksaw or other appropriate saw, as they are steel.

I used them for thin metal already, without any cutting fluid. I am no expert on cutting fluid, but I would think they would work with it. These are awesome bits, makes me wonder how I ever worked without these!

I feel that they would be fine for what you are cutting. I have cut up to 14/12 stranded, but I wouldn't go much larger than that.

Hi, I have this blade and have used it for making jewelry without an issue. You may burn through them quickly though, depending on how often you use it.
1715791
Yes, it's easy to cut any of the shapes. Save the extra, too. I make them last as long as I can.

Ya these are easier on the hands than say the Irwin side cutters. I've used them to cut wires holding suspended ceiling grid. They pretty much do what dykes or side cutters would but easier on hands.

Yes. I used them to cut holes in a laminated wooden conference table with no issues.

I don't believe so. They are meant for baking/cookie cutting and are not that sharp.

I think these scissors are great for cutting fabric, the blades are really sharp and it creates a straight line with ease. However, for cutting small things such as tiny curves and whatnot, I'm not sure you'd have the control as much with these as opposed to other scissors. Since there isn't a loop to grasp, I'm not sure how they would handle scrapbooking jobs. I suppose it would take some getting used to. If it were me, I think I'd prefer different scissors for that. But I LOVE these for sewing projects! I hope this isn't discouraging, and perhaps other people will disagree with me. Just my thoughts! On another note, they way be better for arthritic hands if she suffers from that! It might be worth a try.

I bought them for pmc and polymer clay pendants and they're good for jewelery sized shapes.Michael's crafts should have a few too to compare size in person.
