Hi Jonny69,
GA2G is right. I am tempted to suggest that you might want to edit your post to remove the detail you've got near the bottom of it as many thieves may not know that such things exist.
Just imagine if a thief normally takes 'x' minutes to cut a chain and you tell him about a way of doing it quicker than that? He will surely investigate the advantage. If you also tell him about a tool he doesn't know about, even more so. We all have to be very careful about this. Ditto when cutting D-locks etc etc. There are doubtless thieves reading this thread, too.
We would be happy to post you an offcut of our 16mm chain as you will get the same results as with chopping up your own. (Perhaps also the 11mm/13mm and 19mm.) PM or e-mail me your address (info@pragmasis.com). However, that would be on the condition that you don't reveal anything that could be useful to thieves. You can put comparative timings on here if you wish so people can make their own judgement on the extra benefit from 19mm over 16mm for that type of attack, given your tool/situation/skill, but we would not want actual figures, even if you're terrible at cutting chains ...as the thief might be even worse! :-)
I hope that make sense?

Good points which I hadn't considered, GA2G and Pragma. I've edited some of the detail out of my post. @Pragma - dropped you a line via email.
I haven't read the whole thread but what I have read has been really enlightening. Really good thread.
I've got an Almax Immobiliser III and Stronghold which I've had for years. When I got it I tried to see if Almax would supply me with a single link because I was interested to see how long it would take to cut through with my [edit: brand and type of grinder removed] grinder. They never replied. I'm still interested to know, because it's a properly tonky chain but I don't think it would take too long to cut through with a [edit: type of cutting disc removed]. Since I haven't read the entire thread, has anyone tried cutting one?
