Reply to "Track Cutters"

Posted by Ed:

The easiest way is to use a Dremel rotary tool with a 2 foot flexible extension and a cutoff disc.  You can cut totally vertical if you have the eye for it.  Dress up the end with a small file and you are finished.  It doesn't matter if the rail is laid or loose.  Wear eye protection at all times.

Hands down the best way to cut rail.  Simple, clean, fast and no deformation.  Be certain to get the two foot extension so you have better angles.  I have cut dozens of pieces with this tool. And, you have the ability to cut different lengths for each rail for custom fits.  (No two pieces of track have the same lengths on all three rails.  No more running out to the band saw and "hacking" away with a saw.  Find it right in your local Home depot and be sure to get the Dremel EZ Lock metal cutting disks (EZ456).  With a flip of the lock you can replace disks in seconds.
