Seahorsedreams will become famous soon enough
an eletric saw works best for exact straight cuts on bigger pipes. Pipe cutting wrench works good for smaller diameter pipe.

I just use a wooden miter box and a hacksaw. Square enough to use when yo have 3/4 to 1" to work with.

Argh Argh Argh... (Said in his best Tim Allen - Home Improvement Voice)... I'm telling you.. the BEST thing I ever did was get a 10" portable table saw. It is more universal a tool than Duct Tape! I cut egg crate, PVC, Acrylic, (of course wood) and just about anything else with that saw....
