Wire Cutter

[meplat]

Hi. Does anyone know of a machine that will cut lead wire, fed from a spool or similar? I realize that these are pricey, but I'd like to get away from cutting wire with a manual cutter.

have you considered buying core's from Charlie hood?

No, I haven't. I'm in Canada, so shipping them here would be expensive I think. It probably wouldn't hurt to find out what he charges though.

Thanks for the reply.

Though not a machine cutter my CH will cut at a high rate with little effort.

Years ago I had a little crank operated machine. I used to cut lead wire into pieces to melt onto shiney backs for ice fishing spoons. It was called a Little Joe sleeving cutter. Don't know if you can find one, but mine worked well for me and was only around $100 at the time.

It looked almost exactly like this without the lower wraparound metal guard.

I know that someone makes an electric wire cutter as I saw it at this years Supershoot..........I just cant recall his name but he makes leaterh bolt holsters also.......It will come to me who it is.......eventually (hopefully).......Kiwi

I think the person who makes them is Jason Coye........Kiwi.

Thanks for the responses.

I'd like to find something to make the wire cutting less tedious. I've had some email responses from a couple of companies, but the cheapest cutter was $1050. That is a manually operated cutter.

I'm hopeful that my search will eventually turn up something that will precision cut the cores so that the weight is consistent, core to core.

Hi George. Thanks for the offer of help. If it's possible, I'd like to get his number or an email address if he has one.

I just sent some lead wire off to NY state to chop up. There's a company in Manlius that sells a cutter. They told me that it will cut repeatedly to an identical length. I'll have to wait for a few weeks for them to return the pieces and see if this is the case.
