Arpspasm Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi there, I have been having trouble finding steel cable to try making a cable knife. Bunnings only has galvanized or stainless cable and any other places I have tried seem to be the same. Does anyone have a good source in Australia?

ThomasPowers Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Have you checked with a lift maintenance company (elevator company)? They have to change out cable on a regular basis for safety reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBrann Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I found bare wire steel cable at a commercial fishing store. They have a website hamiltonmarine.com I talked to them, it may not be in their catalog, but they are a good bunch, and if you ask they probably can help.
