[TheForge] cutting off copper ferrules?

[robert hensarling]

Bruce, I've used my miter saw on copper before, and it worked ok.  Did leave
some mess on the end though.  The type I'm talking about is the one that is
used to cut 2x4's and trim.  I do remember having copper flakes flying all
over the place, so you really need a deep sea diving suit to be safe.
Also if you have someone with a water jet in your area (they're springing up
everywhere now, except,  of course, Uvalde, Texas) they have a system for
cutting tubing.  It may be an accessory that they have to buy as an add-on.
