There are a couple ways you can do it, but the best are probably...

Chop Saw with Fine blade
Large miter box
PVC cutter
guillitine type cutter

(for those of us with deep pockets or access to a metalshop...)
Use a Miter Bandsaw with fine teeth.
Its like a chop miter bandsaw with the saw on a hinge.  The thing is
SWEEEET to use.

I wouldent recomment cutting it with a hot wire cutter, because some PVC
ignites.. which is sometimes cool too.. :)
