Could a bow saw cut through this u- lock?

After my last bike was stolen, I was determined not to suffer the same fate with the new bike. First off, I bought a beater bike but secondly, I bought this lock. I didn't just stumble upon this one. I did quite a bit of research. One article in particular rounded up several bike thieves and asked them to break various locks. About the only one they didn't have success with was the 10 lb. chain from On Guard. Not only was it heavy, it cost more than my bike did. The upshot of the article was that eventually every lock would fall but some sooner than others. The thieves all suggested U-locks and this article specifically recommended this one. I think it was a combination of the security and the value. I like it so far. Not too heavy and plenty sturdy.

Technically there is no reason you couldn't I guess - the bar is a different piece. However finding suitable metal, tapping new holes, etc might make it more trouble than it is worth. I had search for a jig for a smaller slotted saw and eventually decided on a bigger saw. The only other option is to make a jig using many of the available patterns online. Might not be the answer you were looking for, but hope it helps. : )

Looking at the bow you described I don't see why it wouldn't work. You would have to be careful when tensioning the tool though since your limbs come back at such a flat angle. You would have to watch for any slipping of the tool when you tightened it up. Once all the tension is on the tool it shouldnt slip at all. The pull of the limbs would hold it it place.

I think you can use a diamond bit masonary blade that should be able do the job. Take it slow when you are cutting.

I'm fairly certain it would not work without some modification to your saw.

I think it could be easily cut with a hack saw. It's pretty tough stuff. I wouldn't recommend using a utility knife for safety reasons.

I don't think so...the blades would likely be your biggest issue; they're pretty close so you'd probably end-up creating a bottle-neck and ultimately a complete blockage. Hope this helps.

This saw has a pretty aggressive 'set', meaning the teeth will create a wide saw kerf. So yes, it'll probably get through the wood of the armoire. I've cut 2x4s with it without any issues. However, if the wood is hard (like oak), it's not going to be easy going, and sawing a straight line if you're not used to hand tools can be difficult. I suggest you use a circular saw for this kind of work. But, if you're willing to put in some elbow grease and you're not too picky about the final result (i.e. you can live with a wavy cut), then go for it.

Unlikely, so long as you are using field points. My 70# recurve gets about 8" of penetration, and my 120# yew bow will go through it, but it'll get stuck before the vanes come anywhere near the block. A 35# won't be an issue.

I don't think so. The ropes used in the pulley can be easily cut with scissors, and the pulleys themselves wouldn't fit bike locks, in my opinion.

I would think a circular saw would cut through them easily, they are a little too thick to use an untility knife or hacksaw without it taking forever, though possible in a pinch

Yes it will! Providing the lock diameter your trying to cut will fit between the jaws. I think that dimension is about 3/4" maximum. J.D.

The blade comes to a point but as far as cutting abilities it is not possible. For cons they may have you zip tie it shut.

If you can find a blade, and I'm fairly sure you can. The saw has excellent support that would be required for a clean, straight cut. All my other jig saws would fail because of lack of support. This is an excellent saw. Best in it's class. Jim

sorry,i don,t know as i haven't tried it.There is a blade that might do the job ,but i doubt it .

I would not know why it could not be cut. I would use a box cutter to do it as sissors might have a difficult time doing it.

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very much lower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the work without forcing the cut.
