Hi Mike ....

I use heavy paper and wrap a length around the area to be cut. When you
wrap it around the tube
it will form a perfect cut line. Once wrapped, use a marker and mark the
paper/tube. This will
give you a clean line to cut on.   Also, if you are using a table saw,
"roll" the tubing into
the blade while keeping the tube against the T square.
