Tool to cut 4 inch ABS easily, straight, in a tight space?

[Fusion916]

For this one, am I limited to hack saw? Or there some kind of close quarters tool I can use for 4 inch ABS?

They have hack saw blade attachments made for close quarters. In a pinch, wrap a bunch of duct tape on one side of a hack saw blade and go to town.

This works in tight spaces.

I've also seen nylon twine used to cut PVC and ABS pretty well. Same technique as the rope saw.

It works but it's a little harder on the hands.

Not if you wrap both ends in deep well sockets. Just say'in.

Cotton yellow surveyors string . Or , maybe it is linen ?

Any time I tried to use a synthetic string , the string melted . :-(

God bless

I believe you are correct Wyr, it was a non-synthetic string I just used and it worked great.

LOL...I , ashamed to admit , have never paid any attention as to the type of string.
I buy 300' rolls of masons line. to use when i rough in a building.
i cut off a approx 6' length to cut a pipe and disgard when its cut.

i even have used the string from inside my chaulk box, what ever is handy/available when the need arises

mostly use a saw zall, with a 12'' blade., grinder, or dremel
