I am cutting grids to make a chinchilla cage. Does any one have any tips? I have so many cuts and scratches on my hands, I think I will just over lap next time. But I have to finish cutting this one cube other wise it will be worth less. I am on the outer layer of the wire, and it is taking me for ever to cut through it. I am using wire cutters.
Any tips or suggestions?


Thanks

I had to cut the grids alsot and what i did was for the thick outside part of the grid i used a metal saw. Then for the smaller inside part of the grid i had big plyers and i used those to cut them. Then there were the little leftover parts of the inside grid and i bent those back until they snapped off. Then i just sanded the edged of the metal so they didn't cut themselves.

Did you understand what i said?

Ya I understand. Not sure I am up to using a saw though :0/ I migt end up hurting my self.
I guess I will just keep trying (might take an hour or so) with the wire cutters and hopefully it will snap. :'-(

Thanks for your reply.

I ended up giving up on cutting, and decided to use mesh grids.
