Can you cut this to be shorter? What would one use to cut it, if so?

I used a PVC tubing cutter as I had to make many cuts for my installation. It's much faster than using a saw.

Yes! I just used a quick and easy skill saw. It's too thick to cut with scissors.. if that's what you're wondering.

I don't think you can shorten it. We have ours attached to a post and a tree.

Scissors, will work. You need a straight edge, to cut it with a utility knife.

You probably could take a hacksaw and cut off about 6" below where the tubes are seamed together. Or just have a metal fabricator make you one showing the picture.

I agree with the others. Unless you only need to cut 1 or 2 pieces to length, I would use a power miter saw.

I'm not sure scissors would do the job. You could probably trim it up with a box cutter or knife.

Dont wory, dont Know the exact length but it's long enough......you will need to cut it.

I would suggest using a hack saw, grinder or something and cutting them to proper length.

I dont think you can cut it. It has a frame on top and it you cut it, it won't be steady. It has a good size it is not that big.

I didn't. Cut mine, but I've seen others on here that have said it could be cut to fit fairly easily. It's pretty thick so it could take some time and talent, but it would definitely be manageable.

I'm sure you can, but you only have about 2-3 inches you can shorten it by. I actually had a similar fan that I cut the rod down.

It's paper so you can, but I would be careful not to cut too much. You might want to practice with a piece of paper and make a fan. Use it as a test run and see how it changes after cutting it.

I don't think you will be able to shorten this. It was longer than I wanted also, so I just doubled back. I think they do make these in different lengths though.

It can be shortened, I just did it (August 6, 2014). Take off the obvious parts with the hex key (Alan) wrench that comes with this towel bar and an open end adjustable (Crescent) wrench. Then reach down inside the support with the hex key wrench to find a set screw. Back that out a bit and the bar slides out of the support. Then you can cut to length with a hacksaw. Very easy.

hey James!for sur you could cut it, although you'd have to be extra careful and not mess it up: it is a nice product!

I shortened mine by first marking where the cut needed to be and making the cut with a large utility knife. The other option would be with a Hacksaw, either should do the job. If you do a search on the internet "best method for cutting wiremold" you should get some results/feedback on the subject.

The bar and ends are separate pieces, so I would think you could cut it. However, it is pretty light-weight and hollow, so it might make a mess of it unless you have precise tools.
