hack saw man i did it with an stx TI and it worked it took like 10 minutes of straight cutting though

thanks man

[zizuhyte]

yea, good sharp hack saw works

that'll take some elbow grease

new hacksaw blade, let the blade do the cutting. if you press too hard on the blade, it will snap.

if you have a dremel tool that will work better, use the cutting disk took

make sure you cut it straight. Take your time, try to cut it as straight as possible.
i was cutting my aluminum and i rushed and i cut it diagonally so i have to rotate endcaps every few days or else it gets shredded.
Getting a new shaft so i doesnt matter

trick to avoid cutting crooked: run a strap of tape around the shaft with one edge at the point you want to cut at... this gives you a reference if you go crooked

use a drop saw go 2 like a hardwere store and and ask wem if they have drop saw and if they can cut sumfin 4 u

or use a school saw if your school does like a materials class

thanks i did it with a hack saw it worked well and i got a work out
took like 15 minutes

if you cut it diagonal just go to a hardware store, get a metal file and file down the crooked edge, it's a pain but saves you end caps and stops ya from looking stupid

yea but im getting a new shaft soon
plus the shaft has a giant bend in it

Use a Skillsaw with an abrasive blade.

What head do you have? Because if it is a nemesis we will have the exact same stick, down to the shaft length. I just used a hack saw, it's easier than you would think.
