Cutting silicone hosing to length

[Reinhoud]

Gents, how do you cut the blue/black silicone hose to length? Those hoses what connect the up pipe tp the turbo and plenum.

 

I used to put a piece of pipe in a lathe, put the hose on the pipe, clamp the hose and use a parting tool to cut it.

But I don't have a parting tool available at the moment (to cheap to buy one for now  ), therefore I was curious if there are other ways to do it neatly, cutting it of is easy, doing it in a neat way is the challenge..

 

Thanks

Slitting disc.

Put a jubilee clip around it and go round it with a sharp knife.

Or Masking tape to avoid the bump in the clip.

I found a tool for the lathe, so I managed to do it with the lathe. Quick and straight.

Nice idea with the lathe, will try that next time. 

I rough cut mine then jubilee clamped them onto a solid blank, stationary disk sander to finish. Slow and straight

Piece of pipe in the lathe, clamp it and 3 seconds with the parting tool and it's cut nice and perfectly straight..

I just use a fresh stanley knife blade, hold the pipe against a flat surface pop knife through hold still and rotate the pipe, cuts dead easy and makes a quick tidy job

Clamp around the pipe and a good sharp craft knife. No problemo
