Reply to "Cutting Tubular Track"

I've used Zona razor saws.  It might lessen their life(I've dulled at least one), but they can handle it.

I don't have a teeth per inch spec handy for the ones I had used, but I can take a ruler to one later  (assuming I can find the one that I didn't dull down too much )to get a guestimate for you.

I've done it without a vice as well, just holding the track down to a rigid table or maybe a block of wood (2x4, etc) with my other hand.  I figure I risk deforming the track more by clamping it in a vice than I gain.

It is necessary to use a small file to smooth out the rough edge after the cut, but nothing too involved.  A couple strokes with any needle file on each rail, as well as some where the track pins will go is normally enough.

Edit: looks like the one I used was 32 teeth per inch.
