Cutting Stainless Braided Line?

Best way is with a Beverly Shear. You can do the tape/cut-off tool method . Or use the tape sharp chisel metod. Or my favorite:
Mark your pieces and take them to a hydraulic shop to be cut

I wrapped it tight with electrical tape and cut it with a cutoff wheel on a little dremel tool I have.
Tried the hacksaw it sucked.

Wrap the braided line in tape a 1/2 inch to an inch from the center of where you want to cut the hose, mark the center of tape (your cut line) and use a high speed rotary cut off tool or a metal cutting blade. Before inserting the fitting into the hose spray down with a light coat of WD-40 or other light oil. Have fun.

Some people use hose clamps around the braided line onto the nipple, but I think that's ghetto, and not really how the hoses are meant to be used.
