best tool to chop 150mm 4core swa

[bigdavs83]

Have some 150mm 4 core which is to be stripped from its tray and (ahem) disposed of. However it's a heavy blighter so want to chop it into metre long lengths. What's the best tool to be achieving this?

A recip saw will cut through it easy enough

Stihl saw!!

either a 9" grinder or chop saw, I have used both in the past to do the very same.

Oh it's like that is it!

9" grinder will waste loads of that valuable copper. use a 41/2 " with a 1mm thick cutting disc.

You cruel person lol

If it's on the floor then a chop saw makes light work of getting it into managable lengths. If it's up in the air then clearly something hand held is needed. I would be tempted to use a recip saw like Dillb suggested. Either that or a pack of fresh 18tpi hacksaw blades and your best w*nking arm

Battery powered grinder,

or an apprentice on punishment duties with a hacksaw

I've used both reciprocating saw and angle grinder. Depending where you are working , you get no sparks off recip. saw. also saw doesn't snatch.

I find a blunt hacksaw and some plasters does the trick
