Another easy way to cut the wire is with a chisle and a 5 pound sledge. Wrap the wire with tape before cutting. It makes a suprisingly clean cut.Be sure to have the wire laying on a flat iron/steel surface.

But... Another option: The builder of my Vancouver is long gone. I replaced the standing rigging last winter. It's _much_ heavier than the M15 and I was a little nervous about it because there are varying reports of difficulty. I ordered the rigging at a good price from Rigging Only (http://www.riggingonly.com/) with a swaged terminal on one end and the other left plain. Each length was ordered a foot longer than actually needed and I used a Hayn Hi-Mod swageless terminal (also ordered from Rigging Only) after cutting it to the correct length. Cutting the wire cleanly was easy using an angle grinder and wrapping the area to be cut with tape to prevent unravelling. The job was much easier than I expected and the rig is still up.
