[TowerTalk] How best to cut 1/4 inch ss cable?

[Ron Gorski]

My foldover tower is guyed in 4 directions at two levels. I use 1/4 in SS wire rope and cut all 8 pieces using the Dremel cutoff discs. Go easy as the cutoff materiel is quite brittle. WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

Phil-

I never tried it on ss cable, but if you have a Dremel tool, try cutting it with one of their very thin cutoff wheels. I have a feeling that might work. I have easily cut off 1/8" nails coming out of a board whose other side I could not get to in order to remove it.
