    I only need about a 2" piece of track to fill in a hole on a shelf that I am building. What is the best way to cut it without crushing the pieces?

    What track are you using? The old tube type tinplate? The more current FasTrack?

    A Dremel tool as already suggested or a hobby saw with a jewelers type blade.

    Thanks for the replies. The Dremel worked great and when the battery died on that I went to an angle grinder with a cut off blade. That worked great too. Oh I am useing the O27 track with brown ties.
