      Most cutters are for softer materials than EHS cable. EHS will ruin just
about any cutting tool. 

     Some interesting ways to cut it have been mentioned. Who said
TowerTalkians weren't resourceful? I still prefer a hand grinder. I cut some
EHS today and it took about 3 seconds for 3/16. Had to use the grinder to cut
some rusty hardware too so it paid for itself again.
