Today’s video is another Friday Findings video in my series on jewelry making tools. This week I’m talking about flush cutters. When you’re first starting jewelry making you can get away with using regular old wire cutters, and then just use a file to smooth your wire edges. But you’ll find soon that you really want to get a pair of flush cutters.
Here are the ones I own:
- Xuron 2175 Maxi-Shear Flush Cutter
(these will cut up to 14 gauge wire)
- Xuron 410 Micro-Shear Flush Cutter
(this will cut up to 20 gauge wire)
It’s good to have a larger pair for cutting heavier wire and a smaller pair for getting into tight places.
In today’s video I explain how flush cutters work, and give you some tips for how to use them.
Enjoy the video and happy creating!

FLUSH cutters, which are undoubtedly very useful, as opposed to FLESH cutters, which is how I first saw the title. O.o
Oh, Ick!
