I can't believe all this discussion about cutting 1/4" cable.

Just buy a cable cutter -  small, cheap, and simple.

I have one and it cuts cleanly in one second.  Probably could do 1/2".

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.
