Swa methods (trying again))

[Guest77]

I am also quite proficient in swahili (beginner) and quite comfortable with turkish,.....and am looking at BSL courses, if that helps you sleep any better tonight.unk:

It is okay Fella, I can see your English has improved enough to actually be readable now, English will be fine :yawn:

I take it time has elapsed on the patent for the blade runner now then if CK are making that copy now then?

I have got a blade runner and it is good for the cable sizes it fits properly (not the smallest sizes or anything big)
The apprentice got a bit marked when I wouldn't let them use it until they had learned to do it properly first.

To answer your question, I wouldn't bother with that tool, I would use a hacksaw, if your worried about making the armoured square and neat put some inulation tape around the cable before cutting it so you have a guide to follow.

I've watched people with these gadgets and personally wouldn't waste money on one which isn't made of steel or with a blade that lasts longer than these gimmicky gadgets
stick to the hacksaw because its simple to do and you'll always be able to buy one cheaply anywhere but I doubt you can say that about the ck or kewtech
I think they're slower anyway!
go for reliability everytime!
I find eclipse junior hacksaws to be very good and they're about 2 quid had mine for years done hundreds and hundreds of swa's no problems

awwww hacksaws,.......

.....i had a top little hacksaw (i think bacho or ck ??))....anyway, it **strangly** went walkies from my tool box when a load of our eastern european cousins were in the warehouse one day,....along with a lot of other kit,....

.....confront them,...you just get the shrug and stare,....

Get yourself a piece of scrap SWA and just practice using a hacksaw on the armour.

Use any junior frame but always use Eclipse blades.

 

[Guest77]

I don't use a junior, I use a full size hacksaw, or I get someone else to do it lol, much easier IMO

Tried one and didnt like it (was like a pipe cutter with a small section of junior hacksaw blade instead of a roller) my workmate got one at the same time and loves it tho it goes through blades quickly. May be I didnt give it a chance as I find the hacksaw method easy and cheap. Mine was a kewtec one I think not ck.
Found a video of the ck in use looks more robust than the kewtec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcv6tH2wEEE this may help you decide
