What could I use to cut this? I have a small pair of bolt cutters and aviator snips, would either of them work?

I used mine whole. Pretty thick. If you have a blade for cutting steel either in your jigsaw that would work and maybe get a nicer cut. But I don't think you will like it cut with bolt cutters.

I don't see why not. Try an elc knife or press down with a borad an a razor knife on top of something that wount cut

I think this cutter may work but may wobble at first. Be prepared to plug the large hole left by the cutter. You will likely have random holes due to random screws. Maybe buy a larger plug cutter and cut plugs out of the same decking (scrap). Suggest using a large, corded drill with a side handle. The bit may tend to grab. I like your idea; may try it myself. Good luck.

I used a hand saw with a blade specific to metal (it worked very well on the plastic). Just make sure you measure precisely before you cut. You can either make a notch with a box cutter or a mark with a pen.

I don't think there's any such thing as bolt cutter proof. Get a big enough bolt cutter will cut through pretty much anything. The way I looked at it, a crack head smash and grab isn't going to have bolt cutters. Since I have a security system, that's what I'm most worried about.

I'm sure you could bud but be careful it's madenof cast iron or at least mine was so the metal is brittle so take you're time. And use cutting fluid Hope it helps manChristopher Smith

If all you wanted to do is cut a bolt- yes this would do it. I personlly think you wouldn't need something quite as good though, this would have a more speed than you might need given the diameter of the cut off wheel. I would recommend using a small wheel so you can maintian control. If you don't need it for various grinding, porting , poishing needs, you could probably get a way with something much cheaper.

I used a knife once, but was gentle in cutting and didn't have a problem. I would think if you can find some kind of plastic tool to cut it might be safer.

No but I think you could use a bolt cutter. It would be more appropriate for something like that. these are handy to use for everything else when you need though.

Steel wire or even high strength fishing line would work. Wrap each end around a nail or key ring. Using it like a saw moving back and forth, it'll cut through no problem. Use a little goof off to remove the left over and buff out the shadow the emblem left in the paint.

As for cutting the bolts it would perform the cutting work well. I have no idea how you would prevent damage to everything behind the bolt within an inch. It might be possible to place a heat shield of some material, but it will most likely throw the metal back on you.

They cut excellent with scissors. I found that out after using a box cutter knife.

I didn't cut mine but it shouldn't be a problem. The liners are thin and I would think scissors would work just fine

I think you would be fine doing this. I ordered specialized cutters and they did not work as well as just cutting them myself. But I LOVE the machine... Hope this helps...

Perhaps with a precision cut. Unless it's a straight clean precise cut, I wouldn't recommend it. Thanks, Madeline

I used a pair of aircraft shears to cut them to size, but I'm sure any pair of heavy duty cutters would work. Attached to the sole with Shoe Goo, and used a sander to clean the edges.

Yes. I used tin snips - but you could use OLD scissors. It will certainly dull new ones. Or garden snips.
