Use a mitre box and a fine toothed saw i.e. a hacksaw. I shortened a damaged carbon can I got on an ace by an inch to get rid of the damage.

You've got to go steady so it don't tear.

Dremmel? Bit small for you isn't it?

Perhaps you should lend it to metalface.

i cut a mates carbon can with a full size grinder and
did a perfect job of it , you just need to be very light
handed with the force you use and it cuts no porblems

Has anyone done a topic on stubbying a can...it looks like i drill out the rivets so the end piece comes off,then carfully cut back the can and then re drill and rivet the spout bit back on...sounds simple

method I personally would apply would be....
If you want the can 3" shorter then take it to bits and cut 3" off each of the individual components

that way you keep the clearances of each piece to each other the same as they were originally

3" off the outer cover
3" off the baffle

and so forth...... then re-assemble

If that makes sense
