How to cut wires in a horizontal cable tray

Use an angled side-action cutter to trim wires cleanly, starting with bottom wires, then side wires, while following safety precautions to prevent damage to cables and the tray. Tools and Safety EquipmentSide-action angle cutters (e.g., HBTCUTTOOL or equivalent) for precise cuts. Marker or chalk to mark cut lines accurately.

Clamps or vise to secure the tray during cutting. Protective gear: gloves, safety glasses, and hearing protection. Deburring tool or metal file to smooth sharp edges after cutting.

Cutting Procedure

Mark the cut line clearly on the tray to ensure accuracy. Start with the bottom wires of the tray, cutting at approximately a 45° angle away from the new end to avoid burrs. Flip the tray to access side wires, starting with the top wire and working downward.

Use the side-action cutter with the lower jaw resting against the cradle wire and away from the new end to prevent damage to the tray or cables. Remove sharp edges using a deburring tool or file to ensure safe handling and installation.

Additional Tips

Avoid using center-cut style cutters, as they can leave rough, burred edges that may damage cables. For angled or corner cuts, ensure symmetry and proper alignment to maintain structural integrity. If cutting for splices or modifications, follow manufacturer guidelines for splice kits and grounding to maintain electrical safety.

Consider using cutting oil for thicker metal trays to prolong tool life and achieve smoother cuts. By following these steps, you can cut wires in a horizontal cable tray safely and efficiently, maintaining both the tray's structural integrity and the safety of the cables.
