Depending on how tight your stuffing tube bend is may determine how much you solder on the end.Nortavlag Bulc

Personaly i never solder my end, i cut my cable carefully and grind the end smooth and take care not to cause them to unravel.

Agree with above on cutting and rounding the nose a bit. Solder is optional but seems to keep the occasional stray strand from poking out. After I solder the end I smooth it with a bit of fine grit paper.
I would clean the end you intend to solder well with alcohol and a brush to remove oils and coat with flux before trying to add solder. Downside of soldering is that it somewhat anneals the metal, but I've yet to experience a failure or gripping problem using this method.
For SAW applications I would have to defer to the experts...This is NOT a toy?!?Comment

I cut it with a cut off wheel, round it off. Then I scuff it up. Clean it with acetone or brake cleaner. Then I solder the last 1/2" of it with acid flux silver solder using a small propane torch. I have some water and a rag near by and when it's still hot I takeva wet rag and wipe across the excess. Not saying anything that I do is the best way, just how I do it and it works for me.32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment
