Using a pipe cutter and the plug as a guide, cut the surplus braid
away.
To give credit where it is due, the use of a pipe cutter is a good idea.
It sure beats the gingerly use of a junior hacksaw!
I'm with him on the method, tin the shield, pipe cutter is good, but I
use en exacto or utility knife, guess my pipe cutters are to old and dull.
It's even worth it to tin the holes on the PL-259 and let it cool before
you start.
Oh, and don't forget to install the sleeve first!!

Actually, there is a minor problem with the pipe cutter, and that is that it
only cuts square
if both of the back rollers are sitting on the material being cut, and the
insulation, where the insulation
has not been cut back, sets the pipe cutter askew.
