Braided Steel lines - best method/tools for cutting?

["Scott Janzen" <s.janzen@comcast.net>]

I'm getting ready to fabricate the external oiling system for my GT 6.
Every time in the past that I've prepped one of those lines to accept the
fitting, wrapping it with tape and cutting the braided mesh with a hacksaw,
I've been convinced that there has got to be a better way that I don't know
(yet).

does anyone have any recommendations?
