Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Tailwheel endorsementHa! I liked your first answer better. I do Tailwheel conversions here in therepublic of Canada. It isn't a rating here... Just a proficiency check and usuallyonly for insurance purposes. I'm sure other folks on the list from theUS can answer your question. Regards,Scott -----Original Message-----

I could use some helpful hints on cutting control cables and being able to insert them into splicing sleeves. I checked my blood twice getting one done today. There has got to be a better way.Ralph in South Dakota________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 17:57:24 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: cable cutting

What worked best for me was to sharpen a chisel on my grinding wheel. I then placedthe cable of a piece of flat steel and sheared it with the chisel and ahammer. Nice clean cut but you will have to sharpen the chisel after abouttwo cuts. I believe this was in the the Tony Bingeles books.--------John FrancisRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I just wrapped the area of the cut with masking tape then cut it with a coldchisel, a hammer and an anvil. I used a cheap harbor freight anvil becausethe chisel will cut into the anvil and ruin a proper anvil, so I bought asmall one that is used for nothing but cutting cable.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____

If you wrap with only one tight wrap of masking tape then cut, you can usuallyget the end of the cable through the sleeve with the masking tape still on there.Makes for a much happier time.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

The absolutely best way is to cut the cable with a small Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel. I wrap the cable with a couple of layers of masking tape to keep the cable ends from fraying. If you're cutting after the sleeve is installed and crimped, use a thin piece of stainless steel between the cables to prevent nicking the opposite cable. Leeve at least 1/8-inch beyond the sleeve.
