Cutting Tygon Tubing (without rough edges)

[richklein]

Hi all,
I have a few extra feet of the Tygon tubing & I am having a hard time cutting it straight. It gets kinda gashed looking. What sort of tool or knife do you use to get a really straight edge?

I use a good sharp pair of scissors, seems to cut pretty straight.

Yes, scissors work great as long as you hold them straight. A utility knife(AKA "Box Knife" or "Stanely Knife") can do a pretty nice job too if you cut through all at once on top of a hard surface.
