Do you cut a lot of chenier? You might have thought of getting one of these...

...which'll set you back around $80. I reckon this is a much better option...

It's a plumbers pipe cutter. Only set me back about $15 from my local hardware store (there's even cheaper ones too!)

It cuts chenier from 16mm down to 3mm OD. Apart from not breaking anymore saw blades the greatest advantage is that it cuts the chenier square. I really don't know why anyone would buy a much pricier cheneir cutter where you still need to use your saw frame.

That's flippin genius. I've always wondered how those silver supply companies managed to get their chenier cut so well. I'll be on the lookout for one next time I'm at the hardware store.

Once you've got one you'll never cut cheneir with anything else again!
