[sdiy] Cutting rotary encoder shafts??

[harrybissell]

I didn't suggest this because I figured you would not have / want to buy
one...

We used to use a bench mounted bolt cutter... a lever action deal with
multiple
holes for different diameter bolts...

We did 1/4" and 1/8" shafts with no problems
