Cutting .055 wire?

How do I go about doing this? Hacksaw and clamp? Maybe I should just plasma cut it?

It’s too thick for my razor saw or wire cutters.

Oh, btw I’m making a marble track for my Rube Goldberg machine.

I use a dremel tool with a cutting wheel. Clamp the wire in a suitable clamp and wearing safety glasses and I usually am behind a large magnifier cut the wire. The cutting wheels can be fragile, I have already been to doctor to have metal taken out of my eye so this is from experience.

You can also buy small bolt cutters. I like the dremel tool as you can shape the cut end of the wire.

huh, I forgot about bolt cutters. That would be perfect!

Thanks! Too bad I don’t have a dremel…

You might try to search Dremel for the closest dealer. Dremel equivalent is handy tool. I also have a small drill/grinder that I got at a local electronic store. It is cheaper than Dremel but not as useful in the long run.

Walmart probably will have something as I see you shop there [(-D]

I could probably sneak something out…
