Problemchild,


I have one like the 39.00 one except it is gold anodized. It has worked great for about 10 years.

I put my filters in the vise and use a hack saw, works fine.

I have the Tavia filter cutter that Mdrag (on TDP) recommended. It works great. It is pictured below:

The one aspect of the 'real' filter cutter such as the Tavia is that it performs a clean cut with minimal shavings. This enables a meaningful dissection of the element.
As opposed to "did the metal come from the cut?"
I too can highly recommend the Tavia. Beautifully constructed with replaceable components.
