I am just wondering what you guys use to cut braided stainless hose? When i did my tranny lines i used black electrical tape and a cut-off wheel. It worked ok. I was wondering if i used a big bolt cutter with the electrical tape would work decently.

 

Electric Die grinder @ 26,500 rpm with 3M Green Corps cut off wheel 1/32"..Of course wrapped in the tape of your choice..

 

Chisel- check YouTube videos

 

x2 really sharp chisel, i watched them before i tried and figured a cutoff wheel would be better. but like u said it just worked ok, where as two whacks with elec tape and a really sharp chisel left a much cleaner cut and was easier..

 

I just watched a youtube video and the guy used a cable cutter like the one below and it cut through it like butter

28" Cable Cutters

 

I used a bow saw with a 42t blade. worked out great.

 

Electric tape and a cut off saw is what Ive always used.

 

Chop saw. Basically anything with high blade speed. If it frays the braid or crushes the line, it's going to be a pain in the *** to slide into the fittings. And you will need electrical tape to help prevent fraying. Also, the Russell brand AN fittings are a bit easier to work with than the Earl's for getting the line into the fitting.

 

I used the sharpened chisel method. It worked great with no frays.

 

Chisel and a large hammer on and alum plate. if you cant cut it one whack it is the cleanest cut ive tried.
