[TowerTalk] Cutting EHS?

[sawyers@inav.net (Steve Sawyers n0yvy)]

For 3/16 and 1/4 I use bolt cutters. Anything bigger I use a cutting
torch. Have seen bolt cutters used up through 1/2" but takes some big
bolt cutters and some very strong arms.

BTW doing a little welding on the end of 7 strand cable will keep it all
in one piece without having to re-wrap stray strands - poorman's cable
seizing.
