Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Wire rope cutter?

Does anyone know of a way to cut large diameter wire rope economically? My cousin can get it for nothing, and he wants to cut it down to 3' lengths to scrap out. I'm talking large diameter, and massive amounts. 3" to 5" diameter. Hundreds and hundreds of feet. A torch is too time consuming, the gas is costly, and it leaves a LOT of slag. A guy he knows uses a diamond wheel, at slow RPM's to cut 1 3/4" stuff, but the larger stuff would take between 11 and 15 minutes per cut.
