Scott-
It took your mind off the fact that you just bought a left hand prop for
your 'Vair.
There's actually an upside to my latest faux pas beyond providing a
little humor for my fellow sufferers. I've set so many NicoPress using the
$15 ACS device that looks like a flaring tool I'm getting pretty good at it.
(Along with carpal tunnel).
Here's the scoop (Some stuff courtesy of Tony Bingelis)-
1. Wrap the area of cable you want to cut with electrical tape, lay the
cable on a chunk of steel or the back of your vise and give it a good smack
with a cold chisel. Absolutely, positively the best way of getting a clean
cut.
2. Once you have the cable threaded around the thimble and adjuster, put
a crimp in each side of the NicoPress using a large (8" or better) set of
sidecutters. Keeps the snake under control.
3. When you can see about 1mm of the edge of the NicoPress exposed in
the ACS setter, clamp it down. Then do the same for the opposite side.
Finally, center the NicoPress in the tool and clamp one in the middle.
