Light Wire Forming Plier (Lap Joint)

Manufactured on a lap joint forging and measures approximately ½" shorter than the traditional Orthopli Box joint. The joint operates without washers or shims creating a smooth operation during use. One of Orthopli's most popular light wire loop forming pliers manufactured with a fine tapered round and square beak. The loop former beaks are ground down to their finest point to help create the tight bend along the fine helix. This plier is designed with no grooves on the inside working area. Hardened steel inserted beaks will help eliminate slippage when forming and bending wire which also creates a stronger longer lasting instrument.

• Manufactured on a lap joint forging without washers, shims, or screws to allow a smooth operation.
• Lap Joint instruments measure approximately ½" shorter than the traditional Orthopli box joint.
• Both round and square beaks measure .030" inches allowing sharp tight bend and helixes.
• Beaks measure 5/8" in length and round beak is gradually tapered the whole length.
• Hardened steel inserted tips are soldered at the beak to increase the strength of the instrument and help eliminate slippage when forming or bending wire.
• The round portions of the beaks are machined to achieve a tight smooth bend and helix during chair side operation.
• Bend and form both rectangular and round wire up to .025" diameter and .019" x .025".
