So will a sharp set of Felco's, keeping up on tool maintenance and a modicum of skill. C'mon now, nobody uses a torch to cut wire rope. Why would it even be necessary?A torch (cutting) will give you a nice sealed end that won't fray. Make sure you don't leave a ball on the end as it won't fit in the glide.
I withdraw my question: I just found a YouTube video on how to cut 1/8" with a hammer and cold chisel.Murica is why.
Ever built radio/TV towers? It's a young person's job and I don't recommend it... but we used torches to cut EHS wire rope guy wire because frankly almost nothing else portable would cut through the 7/8" - 1.5" on the shorter, less loaded towers. On the bigger ones... well, when the guy line is the diameter of your forearm the cutting options are even more limited.
