Can these be cut, I have a 3-1/2 inch vise I would like to use them on?

The two magnets embedded in the plastic are exactly 3 inches apart (from outside edges of magnets) so that leaves you 1/4 inch of plastic beyond each magnet if you cut them to 3 1/2 inches. If you use a chop saw, go slowly because the plastic is fairly dense and will catch the blade and go flying and break the plastic if you force it at all (don't ask me how I know). If you go slowly, you can get a clean cut.

Yes they can. They have marks every 3' I believe, maybe every 1'. Once cut you just have to remove some of the rubber coating to expose the solder terminals to connect your wiring to the new smaller sections.

I don't see why not. they are flexible and with a heavy scissors could be cut to a smaller size. I have not tried it but I think that would work, as they are not shaped on edges just flat.

They can be cut but as far as that product you need to check the size and see if they are large enough to make the strips you need.

To answer your question...I think they would but keep in mind they are only about 1/2- 3/4 inch in diameter and designed for use in a Dremel tool or something similar but cutting would be VERY slow going. I would think a sawzall with a metal cutting blade or a larger tool with some kind of abrasive blade or wheel would work better for your application.

No. Because the carbide tips are 3/16 in wide, They are offset 1/16 in to be able to cut 1/4 in, and reverse for 3/8 in cut. Just use one side of a dado set, or a .125 in regular saw blade.

there will be no problem. You probably will have to cut them. They are standard.

Sure can. Make sure to use a high-quality ultra-fine finish blade when you rip it to width, and go slowly. You don't want to splinter the edges.

I would assume so. They are pretty thin, so any ordinary scissors should work! They are thin enough you could roll them up and put a rubber band around them. They are not very thick.

Yes, but use a "hot knife" or a rotary disc, because it is styrene-type hard plastic, and difficult to cut. They also cut to fit, I believe at extra cost, and worth it.

With a sawing motion, I would have to say no. They make a small metal vise I got on Amazon for around 30 dollars.

Not easily. They're very hard plastic and hard to cut. I'd recommend making something with wire or nails yourself.

I don't see why not. Try an elc knife or press down with a borad an a razor knife on top of something that wount cut

Sure why not. You could screw them to the side with a mdf board, or clamp the vises. Either way more than one way to do it.

the rods do not come attached to the end supports, so i believe you could cut them before attaching them

Good afternoon, we have had some people in the past do this, and had great succses, however, if you were to do this, we would not be able to take any return. They are solid core, so if you chose to cut them, it SHOULD work.Thanks,Aaron

I would think these could be easily cut but it's not clear whether you included the arch in the measurements in this question. If you didn't you would need to buy two of them and line them up carefully.
