Wrap it really tight with fibre-reinforced tape and use a fine tooth
hacksaw. The more teeth, the better. One you're through, square up the end
with a disk sander. I have one of those sears & ragbags combo belt and disc
sanders that works perfectly.

I'm getting ready to fabricate the external oiling system for my GT 6.
Every time in the past that I've prepped one of those lines to accept the
fitting, wrapping it with tape and cutting the braided mesh with a hacksaw,
I've been convinced that there has got to be a better way that I don't know
(yet).

does anyone have any recommendations?
