For those as slow as I am, I have been cutting rudder cable with everything but the paper scissors and ended up whacking a cold chisel against a steel table to cut the stuff, when my infuriating best neighbour said, “why don’t you just visit the local bicycle shop? I bet they cut cable all day long”.  

        They do, and with a neat pair of cutters that do a superb job. I could kill him.

Us e Dremel tool with a cut off wheel. Works like a charm. You won’t believe how clean the cut is! Wear safety glasses.

Hi! Ferg   

So what is wrong with a slim cutting disc on a Dremel type tool?  

Regards  

Bob Harrison.

Wrap the cable with tape at the point you want to cut it.  Place it on 

an anvil, center a sharp cold chisel on the tape and whack it.  Done deal!

For those builders that want control cable cutters,  I have a pair of CK

cutters (CK TOOLS T3744, 190mm AIRCRAFT CABLE & WIRE ROPE CUTTER), they have

worked perfectly.   They are not very expensive and are readily available.

See the attached ebay link.  A google search showed plenty of suppliers on

both sides of the pond.
