I have used a tubing cutter for years. Works like a charm. Costs about $5.

I cut with a hacksaw but cut 1/8" longer and square up cut on a disc sander and sand to size.

I use shrub pruners.  don't cut all the way thru at once, do like others have suggested by roling it as you keep cutting.  Just like anything, after a few, it gets real simple.  

Try taking a 1/2" off a few shafts just to get the hang of it, then once satisfied with the results, cut them to their finished length.

Utility knife. Easiest way to go. No sawdust mess,nice clean cut.
