Step-by-Step Guide: Using Wire Cutters in Jewelry Design
Wire cutters are one of the most essential jewelry-making tools. From trimming excess wire to creating clean finishes, every jeweler — beginner or professional — needs a reliable pair. At Forjax Tools Pakistan, we specialize in manufacturing precision-engineered jewelry wire cutters that are trusted by jewelers and international brands worldwide.
Here’s a complete step-by-step guide to using wire cutters in jewelry design.
🔹 Step 1: Choose the Right Wire Cutters
Not all wire cutters are the same. Depending on your project:
- Flush Cutters: For smooth, flat ends (ideal for professional jewelry).
- Side Cutters: Great for quick trimming.
- Heavy-Duty Cutters: For thick wires and stronger materials.

🔹 Step 2: Select the Correct Wire Gauge
Before cutting, identify the wire thickness. Using the wrong cutters can damage your tool or leave rough edges.
- Fine cutters = light wire (up to 20 gauge).
- Heavy-duty cutters = thicker wires (18 gauge or more).
Forjax Tools cutters are built with hardened stainless steel and ergonomic grips for smooth cutting.
🔹 Step 3: Position the Wire Correctly
Place the wire deep inside the jaws of the cutter for maximum control and strength. This prevents slipping and ensures a clean, precise cut.
🔹 Step 4: Make the Cut
Apply even pressure on the handles. For flush cutters, keep the flat side facing the finished jewelry piece to avoid sharp ends.
🔹 Step 5: Smooth the Edges
Even with quality cutters, some cuts may leave rough edges. Use a file or polishing tool to refine the ends for a professional look.
🔹 Step 6: Care for Your Wire Cutters
To extend the life of your tools:
- Wipe clean after use.
- Avoid cutting wires beyond recommended thickness.
- Store in a dry, safe place to prevent rust.
