 Brian,You'r right, but Alan is putting a new spin on that.  He intends to be able to reach all areas of his sub.  My first dive project this year is to finally dive on a steam paddle wheeler.  Only one diver reached it and set a record at the time.  The diver is a friend and he told me he tied a marker line to the bow.  I want to get rid of that line, so that on future dives to the wreck I don'd risk descending onto that line.  Also as you mention one sub in a group should have this rope cutting ability.  Hank    On Saturday, February 9, 2019, 11:01:12 PM MST, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles at psubs.org> wrote:  

 I like the hydraulic chainsaw idea !     The only thing with my sub is that it's so large that I would more than likely get entangled in a place that would be unreachable with any arm I had anyway.   Actually that would be true with most any sub, you're not going to be able to reach all areas of the sub.  But for rescuing another sub I can see a real benefit  !

 Hi Sean,I have a weight on the rope maybe 5 lbs to keep it in place.  I have the hand speed on half for the video and yes I am sure it will cut 5\8 double braid in one pass.  The throat of the cutter is only about 5\8 so I would have to chew on a larger line.  I made it so a rope can't get in behind the cutter and I kept it small so it doesn't interfere with the gold bars.  This arm is very powerful.Hank

 Hank, how much tension was that polypropylene under in the video? You went through it like butter.

Is this integrated into a clamping jaw? How do you make sure that you don't cut something that you're only trying to grab?

What do you figure the capacity is? Would it go through 5/8 polyester double braid?

Sean
