Thread: What kind of wire cutters for repinning razors?

Exactly what I do! Touch to the belt sander, then use a very small file for the last tiny bit that has to come off if there's more to go. That makes it much less likely I'll sand through to the scales and I can control it all more finely. Alternatively, flush cutters for all but the hardest metal pins, or pins used with fragile scales.

I have some small flush cutters from Harbor Freight that work GREAT & were less than $10.00. Then I use a small file to smooth the pin up.

Why not cut it off with a Dremel?

Dremel would work fine but sometimes a little slip of the hand could damage the scales.

What Rich said! H F has a small flush cutter for cheap that has worked great for me for 4 or 5 years.
