The best tool I have bought recently is a cut off saw. This is a great tool
for perfect straight clean cuts through metal. They can be had at good old
Harbor Freight for 50 bucks or so on sale. You will find all types of jobs
for this useful tool.

As a plumbers son who used a pipe cutter many times as a kid, I can tell you
that they cause a significant reduction in OD and ID at the cut off point
which is not easy to remove. The pipe cutter was used with a tapered pipe
reamer which reduced the internal burr, however the ID is smaller than
before cut off. I believe if you are planning on telescoping .058 wall
tubing, like the stuff we regularly use for antenna elements, you would be
better off using a hack saw and a file to do the job.
