I assume you are talking about expanded metal lath. How much do you want to cut? Snips get very tiresome after a few cuts. If you just have a little to cut into strips, you can use a hook bladed knife. Secure the lath at one end and pull the knife through. If you have a bunch, cut a whole stack at once with a metal blade on a circular saw.

Mike and Jeff,
Thanks for the info. Started with the snips and knew that was not the way to go.

Mike won!
*Now, Andrew, your statement implies that Jeff lost, but there are no losers. We are all winners for having participated.:]Rich Beckman
*'Course, the fact we're all here in the first place suggests something else...
