Instructions - How to Cut Tungsten Steel

Tungsten steel is a common material used for wedding bands and other rings. You may have to cut the metal to remove the ring because of a hand injury or swelling that prevents the ring from sliding off. If you end up in the emergency room because of the injury, allow the medical professionals to remove the tungsten steel for you. Otherwise, you can do it yourself as long as you use extreme caution.

Instructions

1
Turn the screw on the bottom of the locking pliers to open the jaws wide enough to put the tungsten steel ring inside.

2
Put the ring inside the pliers and clamp the jaws closed.

3
Remove the pliers and turn the screw 1/4 turn so the jaws will clamp tighter over the tungsten steel. Close the jaws around the ring.

4
Take the jaws off the ring and tighten the locking pliers another 1/4 turn. Put the jaws back around the ring and close them.

5
Continue adjusting the jaws using 1/4 turns. Eventually, the jaws will clamp tightly enough around the metal that it will break.

Tips & Warnings
Cutting the tungsten steel yourself should be a last resort, only when a trained professional isn't available.
