These are hand crafted and designed for comfort as well as durability.<\/p>\n<p>Our sprue cutters are available in both Straight and more commonly Tapered shape.<\/p>\n<p>The 1.6mm sheet brass is cut, tapered and press molded into specific lengths and diameters. After pressing, the parts are brazed (brass welded) then sent to the high speed buffing stage. It is here that the parts are finished into a jewelry-like finish. Final inspection and protective wrapping are the last stage.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"sc-column sc-column-last one-half-last\">\n<p><strong>We stock and sell Brass and Steel versions of the following sizes.<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/spruechart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-1506\" alt=\"spruechart\" src=\"http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/spruechart.jpg\" width=\"464\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/spruechart.jpg 1751w, http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/spruechart-283x300.jpg 283w, http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/spruechart-966x1024.jpg 966w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div><div class=\"clearing\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/sprue_banner.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-3710\" alt=\"sprue_banner\" src=\"http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/sprue_banner.jpg\" width=\"914\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/sprue_banner.jpg 1128w, http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/sprue_banner-300x80.jpg 300w, http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/sprue_banner-1024x273.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/smelko.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/sprue_banner-500x133.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 914px) 100vw, 914px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-480","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=480"}],"version-history":[{"count":43,"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/480\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1494,"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/480\/revisions\/1494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/smelko.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
