I use my DeWalt 12v cordless saw with a carbide blade to cut that stuff (slow feed rate and wear the goggles – I also shut my eyes). The DW cordless also cuts my conduit, power strut, rigid and triplex cable. Works quite well.
If you are really into it, Panasonic makes a cordless saw set up for this kind of thing.

Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

Bear, Greenlee tool co. makes a roto cutter that fits in your palm.You just apply a little pressure and crank the handle a couple of times.It cuts clean and fast. I prefer to just bend the M/C back onto itself untill the armor opens,counter torque with my hands the spiral of the armor and use a pair of Klein M/C cutters to snip the armor.It sounds like a lot but it only takes about 5 secs. a cut.

I just turn the m/c a full half-turn and bite it in two. If you have dentures, you might want to get yourself one of those roto-tools from the supply house. They're only about 30.00.

Does anyone know any tricks for cutting mc cable or flexible
metallic conduit w/12-2 w/ground? I have a bit of this to run
and it's slow slow slow.
Thanks in advance
