I'm guessing you are talking about SS "aircraft" cable, right? Bolt
cutters don't work on finely stranded cable because. For that you need
either cutters meant for the job, or a cutoff wheel on a grinder.
Cutters for aircraft cable are generally bypass type shears with both
sides curved.
If it's 1x7 strand, bolt cutters work, or a cutoff wheel, or cable
cutters meant for the job, which are usually bypass type shears with one
curved side and one straight.

Any recommendations? I was thinking about taping
the place for the cut with electrical tape and then
wedging it in a piece of copper tubing....
