There are several methods of effectively cutting Stainless Braided PTFE Hose
For nominal ID hose:
- Metal Cutting Wheel...non scalloped like is used to cut Hydraulic hose
- Since our braid doesn't flare much on the female side of the braid, there is no need to Tape the Braid
- Beverly Shear...it flattens the hose...but does a nice job cutting the hose and braid.
- We offer a simple ferrule tool which assists in putting on the collars
- Thin, abrasive blade...much like the hose shown in Everflex's assembly procedure...
- This works well, except creates a lot of dirt and dust, and many times you need to tape the braid
