.....braided hose!!!!!

What is the best tool..as all i get is frayed edges so the fitting wont fit

PLEASE HELP its doin my head in

 

what diameter? big stuff... bind it with masking tape and put it in a vice, then hacksaw straight through it...

 

martoon beat me to it

 

you have pm

 

as said above, tape both sides of where your going to cut before you cut it.
try and get the tape as tight round the hose as possible, should cut alright then.
use a fine toothed hack saw blade if you ca as well so it dont grab at the metal.

if its still bad then turn the blade round in the hack saw so that it is actually cutting when your drawing the saw back towards you. that will help reduce the blade snagging the metal and bending it.

 

Cheers everyone

 

Try not to put too much tape on, as it makes it harder to get the cutter fitting to start properly.

Just a couple of winds round is fine.

 

thin stuff - chisel

 

you can cut the frayed bits off with tin snips if you make a hash of it

 

id use one of them concave style cutters that you see advertise that cut pennys in 2

for large stuff i would use a grinder

 

Nothin like over doin it

 

insulating tape ... and hacksaw

 

vice and one of those extra thin grinder blades

 

hey if a jobs worth doing


cowboi is another one who would rather use a manual saw to cut tubing ect, when we was fitted a exhaust to my cabrio we needed to chop a few pipes and join em and hes got the most over stocked tool collection known to man, HE GRABS THE FUCKING SAW and starts to cut the pipe with it


i got the angle grinder and cuts the fucking thing like ya ment too


he excuse is its not a tidy or acutate way of cutting so he prefers the LONG way

 

i must admit ginge, u did cut the pipe. u cut everything else at the same time, but the pipe did get cut.

half the resaon was though i only had a grinding wheel on my grinder not a cut off wheel.
so it was never gonna make a good gob of it

 

bollox you just like precision

i just like using grinders , i think im gonna cut the fucking bottom puly off with me grinder
