How do I cut cable trunking to size?

When cutting cable trunking, it is important to follow the steps below to achieve accurate results and avoid damaging the material.

• Measure: Before cutting the trunking, measure the required length. Use a tape measure and mark the length on the cable trunking with a fine pen.
• Cut: Use a sharp utility knife or a fine saw to cut the trunking along the marked line. Make sure the cut is as straight as possible to ensure a clean finish.
• Deburr: Cutting may leave sharp edges or burrs. To remove these, you can use a file, sandpaper, or a deburring tool. This not only helps prevent injury but also protects the cables running through the trunking from damage.

Always be careful when cutting cable trunking to avoid accidents. Protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses is recommended throughout the process.
