That's what we use. Almost a perfect cut every time. I rarely ever worry about getting into a fight with steel braided line anymore.

I wrap it in e-tape and use a diegrinder with cutoff wheel. Works mint as long as you go slow so you don't melt the liner. Doesn't suffer from the tearout like a hacksaw can.

I betcha my bolt cutters are faster than your cut-off wheel. Not trying to brag or anything.
