RT540 top fuel R Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 1,664 North Sweden	I use a big lead hammer on the concrete floor, and a sharp knife. I lay the AN line on the lead, and then a sharp knife on top, and cut it with just one hammer blow, it will make a nice clean cut. The braided steel, will need some massage to get round again. I learned this method from a Top fuel racer. I have heard cutting with a 1mm super thinn cut off wheel, also works great. Never tried a plier tho.
