I have used a diamond cutting wheel on a Ryobi grinder and that makes a slick portable and fast cut on EHS of any size.  PLus about anything else you may want to whack down of the metal variety...

Jim nailed it.    Thats the easiest and cleanest cut.  I use a 4" Harbor 
Freight angle grinder with a thin cut off wheel.   Works great.

Electrical tape either side of cut area and a grinder.
About 5 seconds and your done.

Kindly use Safety glasses / goggles.

Phil,

   I do the electrical tape and use either in the field a 36 in long BOLT 
cutter  or in the shop a high speed Wizzer  ( cut off tool )

Any recommendations?  I was thinking about taping
the place for the cut with electrical tape and then
wedging it in a piece of copper tubing....

thanks, 73, Phil  W5BVB
