Cutting conduit, I hate it already...

[Lister1987]

Any tips for cutting conduit to ensure a good finish? We're starting with it at College and I hate the stuff, I end up cutting to length fine but after touching up it's all buggered.

Unfortunately due to my cerebral palsy, my fine motor control is pretty shot, along with my ability to judge by eye (I can see where the adjustment is needed but either end up doing top much and making worse or not enough) so any tool that will cut straight and smooth would be a god-send. Tips welcome too.

im thinking a plumbers pipe cutter, I know they do copper but not sure they'll be up to doing steel/pvc without blunting or clogging up.

I've always loved bends in pipework. There is some impressive heating pipework in several local churches, perfectly formed bends in screwed steel pipes of various sizes. Particularly smart are the tight bends where pipes are made into radiators on the old high pressure systems.
