Hi,

I am going to be making abour 60 cuts of 70mm tri rated cable, and probably many hundred more of the same.

Whats the best way to cut it without knackering it up?

Do I need a pair of ratchet cutters?
 
Yep cable croppers - they are shaped better for circular cables and do clean cut ...because your doing a bulky cable many time and unless your built like a brick house then I would recommend ratchet croppers.

cuts through micc like butter though.


knipex ratings are a little conservative. that little pair will happily cut 35mm tails

Hi uksparks

What did you get in the end. Have to do something similar with 95mm so wondering what's best to get my self
 
Will that leave a clean end on tri-rated though? I've never used a saw on fine stranded, only cable shears, which take all of a second to go through 70mm so I'd be tempted to keep the bandsaw for armoured etc. I do keep separate shears for MICC and rough stuff, so that the ones used for the more delicate cables are as sharp as poss. When they start getting chipped or slack, they get demoted to the rough work and new ones take over the delicate.

I think cutting 70mm2 cable would be a struggle with them Shanks, especially lots of cuts.

What do you use to cut and strip tails or chunkier cables?
Also good for cutting strands of cable armour, although I try to restrict their use to copper.
