Okay, so it's not a real stubby in this equation, I just need to cut off 2cm of a damaged sleeve.

What is the best way of cutting the sleeve without bending it? Or would it even bend? Confused Not overly sure, haven't done it before but need it done in a bit of a rush! Smile

Thanks in advance.

Greg

A good hacksaw with a new blade, and take your time or your going to cut it at an angle, draw a line round it with a marker first, or if you have one a mitre box will keep the saw straight, £5 from B&Q.

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 20 years, 24 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
