Easycut Lead Came Pattern Shears

The James EasyCut Pattern Shears are available in Foil (Item Number 60508) and Lead (Item Number 60507) versions. Easy cut foil shears remove the narrow strip between pattern pieces required to make your copper foil projects fit properly. Lead shears remove a slightly wider strip to account for the width of the heart in lead came. You can also use Lead shears for cutting mosaic patterns which require a slightly larger space between the pattern pieces. Pattern shears are three bladed scissors. The single blade is always on top while cutting. Loosen the blade tensions screw for heavier weight pattern stocks like tag board. The unique blade design enables you to make the short cutting strokes essential for clean cuts. Use even smaller strokes when cutting tight turns and deep inside curves to keep the pattern from bending and tearing. Periodically lubricate the cutting mechanism with a few drops of a light weight oil like mineral oil. Spring loaded action automatically opens the shears after every stroke for less hand fatigue and easier operation. Comfort grip handles are angled to the blade for a more natural hand position while cutting. Work equally well right or left handed!
