"Dave Martin" wrote in message ... Various methods such as hot wire and laser beams have been suggested, but with the way members treat club equipment I suspect the life of such things would be minimal. Dave Martin Why should a hot blade be fragile? The winch engine starting battery has a lot of power to heat a robust blade very quickly. You only need to get the blade to Spectra's 265F melting point - far below the blades melting point. I would just mount the blade in a strong frame near the path of the rope and push the rope against the stationary hot blade with a rubber block. If well built, it should last nearly forever.
