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.
The worst thing about galvanised conduit is the piles of swarf left lying around on the benches after cutting threads, which if you're not careful like me will have you leaning on a pile of it and getting it embedded in your hand(s).
Then you have to wait until you get home to tweezer all the little bits out.
