Flexible conduit

[zeke]

What is the best way to cut 3/8 inch flexible conduit?

[Wgoodrich]

Ideal has a flex cutter. You slide the flex or metal clad cable into the cutter. Then turn a crank as you squeeze. This slices a parallel slice through one wrap of the flex. The you just twist the flex and the metal separates and you slide it off.

Hope this helps

The tool Wg refers to is often referred to as a "Rotosplitter". I think this is a brand name, but people call most any brand of this crank tool a rotosplitter. I think they normally retail for about 30 bucks. Beats a hacksaw (which is the typical alternative).
