Can the bendable beam be cut easily? What is the best tool? I need a 5 foot length.

Yes it can be cut with a hacksaw. A dremel tool with a cut off blade worked really well too.

It cuts very easily. It is very soft aluminum. We used an oscillating tool but a hacksaw would work well too.

Very easy. One of the most user friendly products I've bought. Simple metal cutting tool will do the job. I had to cut one myself. Very easy to install.

4 ft long. Each side of the bend is about an inch wide. It's a tight fit at the bend, so if your corner is slightly rounded (mine was), it will cover less than that inch. It was very easy to cut. I used tin snips since that was what I had on hand. Hope this helps.

You could cut it down to size. It is made of very heavy rubber and it is about an inch thick, so it will take a little effort to cut. I would recommend you use a heavy duty utility knife with a sharp / new blade in it for a clean cut. This way will most likely still take several passes trying to cut through it because of the thickness. I'm sure you could use other tools to cut it as well.

This is not enough. You could buy an extension that curves down at least 6". It's easily obtained from any hardware store. But the way it is now - the answer is "NO."

Only if your speaker mounting surface is less than 7 7/8 inches in diameter, and even then the cutter would have difficulty cutting through 5/4 anything very cleanly. As others have said. you'd need to cut halfway through on one side of the board, then flip it and cut the rest of the way through on the other, and even though that sounds simple the hole that results is seldom perfect. Try a hand held high quality jigsaw with a new sharp blade followed by a drill press-mounted drum sander to remove the saw marks, but practice on scrap first.

I cannot see that the strip can be bent at a true 90 with some radius to the bend. No, it cannot be cut and soldered, only cut to desired length. Plan on some radius...probably about 1"?

Haven't tried anything that thick. I think I would purchase a Bolt cutter. Sure to do the trick.

I cut mine with scissors. It is solid plastic but still a little flexible and not really thick. A utility knife should work, too.

Yes. I did it easily. Just use a hack saw to cut the bar down yo the length you want.

Sure. This works great for beams. I made some nice 6x6's. You can do planks, but I had some troubles with getting wedge shaped boards. It was kind of hit and miss, so I got an Alaskan and it is more consistent for planks. I like having both because the Haddon works great for making that first cut and then I use the Alaskan for the rest.

I think it would provided you used a long ( maybe 8 or 9") blade so it would be able to bend. But I'm just a do-it yourself hack if u get my drift.

I shortened mine by first marking where the cut needed to be and making the cut with a large utility knife. The other option would be with a Hacksaw, either should do the job. If you do a search on the internet "best method for cutting wiremold" you should get some results/feedback on the subject.

Yeah, the are attached by what looks like two small solder joints, one on each side of each leg, but it looks easy enough to bend and snap off, or even a dremel, or small handsaw could probably cut right through it. a dremel would be the easiest way to go. its only 11$ so its not too big of a loss if it doesnt work out right, but i do a lot of handy things and modifying things myself so in my opinion if i wanted the legs off I would definitely give it a go without hesitation. :) just use a metal file to soften the edges if you do decide to try it out so you dont get hurt on sharp edges.

Yes, I think you could cut it with a box cutter or straight razor pretty easily.

Yes. Each piece is 3 feet long with interlocking tips and you can cut them to the desired length. All you need to cut them is a metal cutting blade. With a little handyman knowledge you can do the job.

Yes. You can cut it easily with a hacksaw or some other fine-toothed saw, like a pull saw. The hangers can be moved to new positions once you cut the rails.

I would think you could cut through it with some very sturdy scissors or even a small saw. It's not too tough-- just thick. And wonderful!
