Want to cut dog pen wire- its thin steel. Will this do it? What saw or thing do I need to use? Want quick set too. Any suggestions?

Any rechargeable type dremel is not a "continuous duty" tool. I would try the "plug-in" type w/ the cutoff wheel. Be careful not to exceed the MAX safe RPM & wear eye protection. Should work, actually I would use large wire cutters actually for this job & not use a rotating tool whatsoever.....

We just cut it with a wire cutter and then put the tips back on. Follow the instructions it comes with and it will work great.

Haven't used it on wire that heavy...great tool tool though for jewelry making. Do you make whirlygig stands, too? Just asking... Rec'd one as a gift for Christmas...w/o stand.

Like a hot knife through butter. If the pipe is the right size, feed it slowly to avoid gumming up the blade. Clean cuts without a problem.

I think you can use a diamond bit masonary blade that should be able do the job. Take it slow when you are cutting.

I would use a chop saw, that would do the trick nicely. I had to drill into mine and used a drill bit with a point on it - worked fine.

I found myself a pair of scissors that were metal. That was the easiest thing I could think of and seemed to work and, at least, I didn't get a shock. Let me know if that helps. @d_avery@att.net.

Greetings Greg... Stainless tube correct? It should cut fine... Cutting it to 0.060 is another issue... That tiny piece will likely go flying if you dont set something up to catch it...

The best way to cut is with heated wire or in the case if circles, a well heated metal tube. Drills work well also for circular cutting, but saws are a no no. Sand paper does not work either.

I have not tried a wire that size yet. Common since tells me that if the wire will fit between the rollers and into the pilot hole, it will cut it. I have paid for mine about 800 times already and it is not a year old yet. Silll using the same blade. Great tool!!! Keith

I'm not sure--the wire might "bend" as it's cutting. It doesn't do well on thin plastic,

I cut mine using a tightly press steel edge as a guide and a utility knife. Cut threads were then melted using a lighter. The rubber burns so be careful with the flame.

There is a cutting tip. You heat it up and then cut what you want. I will assume it can only cut rope. I only use my gun to solder two pieces of wire together so I've never really used the cutting tip. I will add this: The gun is of exceptional value. I have another just like it that I've had for almost 40 years but it never came with the carrying case and it still is going strong.

Two totally different saws. Using a straight edge and a circular saw works but is a major PITA. I believe the heart to any home work shop is a table saw and my miter saw. Figure out how to own both and you will never regret the purchase. Let your wife read this post!

I just cut down a chain link fence . No problems very powerful tool. Make sure you have the right blade it took 5 blades to cut down 10 poles

There is no wire attachment for cutting styrofoam, the tips are for stencil cutting (thin plastic). There may be an attachment you can get, but more likely they offer the styrofoam cutter as a separate tool. Hope this helps =)

I would not recommend filing, sanding or using a scroll saw. You will have a million tiny pieces. Better to use heat. I recommend a hot wire foam cutter.
