Fatboy40 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 ... which is a very good thing for them holding their shape / strength, but makes it impossible (at least for me) to cut off a coil. I bent the blades on a pair of snips and took all the teeth off a Dremel cutting wheel trying to do it 🤣  Unless @ak2m4 has a magic trick to doing it I'm stumped (looks like heat won't help as the cutting wheel got the spring lava hot). ak2m4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudotectonic Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 i wonder if a bolt cutter can cut it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak2m4 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 @Fatboy40 haha I've never actually tried cutting one. Out of interest what spring power do you have and what you trying to get it down to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboy40 Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 I'm off work for a few days so the cutting wheel turned up today, and I shat my pants when the sparks started to fly from it cutting the spring 💩 🤣 (put on some gloves and safety glasses after that).  @ak2m4 I cut just over a coil of an M130 to get my DMR to spot on 1.6J on 0.40g BB's. ak2m4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
