The new iron balusters typically come in standard lengths and will need to be cut to fit the specific height and angle of your staircase. In a workshop setting, secure each new iron baluster in a bench vise. Use a metal-cutting tool, such as a hacksaw, angle grinder, or a chop saw with a metal-cutting blade, to cut the balusters to the precise required length. Ensure the cuts are straight and clean. If your balusters have decorative elements, plan your cuts carefully to maintain symmetry.
