CS, we use a reclaimed paper cutter from a cleanout for the ribbon cable. It's like the loppers, just pull the lever and it slices like butter.

Im still waiting to find one of those at a garage sale myself ever since I read that what you used it for. i want one now. I have a box with about 30 pounds of ribbon cable I need to cut up.

We tried that with a papercutter we had laying around and could not get it to work but it was a newer version and probably not sturdy enough to actually do the job. I probably need to find one of those old monsters that they used to have in the schools when teachers would cut paper.
