cutting door rubbers to a good standard?

[steveo3002]

got some door rubbers to fit soon..they need trimming

the pinch part of the seal is metal incased in rubber , ive always made a pigs ear of cutting these in the past

any ideas for a neat cut ?

[thewindscreenman]

Angle grinder with a thin cutting disc perhaps ?

[mikemai47]

A cutting disc on a Dremel is ideal for that job, much finer disc.

i have been cutting armoured lecky cable recently, I put cable over a block of wood, I put a strong knife on the cut line and smack it down with summat weighty
good clean cut which may work on your stuff

When we do these at work, as Bruce sias just give it a good sharp chissel.

The alternative we use is a decent sharp set of side cutters and they always seem to do the trick. ;D

thanks for the ideas so far...

side cutters arent gona give me a nice 90deg cut

1mm cutter disc was what i was thinking..if it goes though fast maybe it wont melt much?

keep the ideas coming

Bolt cutters or tin snips? No melting but not sure how neat the cut would end up..

When I did the door seals on mine earlier in the year, I used a sharp pair of sidecutters and a stanley blade to tidy.
All the edges are neat, I even managed to mitre them to 45degs

I just used a hacksaw with the seal clamped in the vice

used the 1mm cutter disc in a angle grinder after all...did a mint job , nice neat edge with no melting
