as the title says im want to cut down a blank i have and was just wondering what is the best way should i use a fine hacksaw or an angle grinder i have a couple of thin 1ml cutting blades. i was just going to mask the length i wanted and cut with grinder ------------- When shooting a mime, don't use a silencer or his friends will hear you. If camera lenses are round why do the pictures come out rectangle? |

Yea your onto it, I like to tape up the area where I'm cutting and cut thru the tape. I usually use a dremel but sometimes use a hacksaw too. ------------- http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow">

| as badfish said - tape it and then cut through the tape - it stops the blank from "splintering" at the cut. |
