Dickie Normuss Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Dremel with a cutting disc Seek forgiveness, not permission. Rules are for the interpretation of wise men and the obedience of fools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Erm, I'd do what I did (IYSWIM) and buy them ready made... ...failing that, I've heard a new hacksaw-blade with the end of the hose wrapped in tape to stop fraying usually works... Probably worth trying (the tape that is) even if you use a dremel. Project Scope-Creep is live...

Ferrino Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Dremel with a diamond cutting disc (hose end wrapped in tape) works well. Bite me 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted May 10, 2005 Area Representative Share Posted May 10, 2005 Place hose in jaws of a sharp pair of cutters (pliers). Place cutters on a hard surface. Strike cutters with hammer (directly above hose). Nice clean cut. Job done - no need for expense of Dremel. Paul Richards Joint AO - L.A.D.S.

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Dremel and masking tape or use a hose clamp as a guide and hacksaw it. Can you really cut braided hose with a pair of pliers????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
