Best cheapest way I know how Mitch...did it for years with no problems.

I use a tubing cutter and then sand the end square with my stationary disc sander.  It takes and deformation off and insures a square end.

Yep---I vote for the tube cutter too---been using one for many, many years and never crushed ashaft yet.  Some people must be in a terrible hurry if they feel the need to exert that much pressure to cut a shaft.  Also, I think many of the people who have that problem are probably unused to using tools of any sort.

Ever watch any of the "home improvement" shows on the DIY or H&G channels.  They'll have people on there supposedly doing all kinds of serious work and it is obvious they don't even know how to hold the tools they're "using"---some of them are a scream.
