Many fine wire cutting tools are designed strictly for copper, and can get ruined if used for steel. I also want the cutter to slice the end off of the RG-6 cleanly, rather than crushing it and distorting the circular shape of the coax. Can anyone recommend a quality cutting tool for RG-6? 73 Rick N6RK _________________Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector |
