The goal is to obtain a clean, square cut!
Using a square or the side of a Buckle, score
a line across the full width of the rail.
Using bolt cutters, snip one outer wire at the
end of the score line.
Then snip the other outer wire at the other
end of the score line.
Tear the rail from both ends toward the
center wire.
Note 1
: If the rail has only 2 wires - you will
be able to tear the entire width of the rail.
Note 2
: If the rail has 4 wires - you will need
to cut all 4 wires with bolt cutters.
Bend the rail in half, then straighten the rail,
then bend the rail the other direction.
Continue until rail snaps in two.
OPTION
: Score and cut with handheld grinder.
