Cutting silicone hosing to length


Recommended Posts

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

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  :banana:

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