I usually cut PVC electrical conduit with a saw, but on one particular job, the conduit I was working on had wires running through it, and cutting with a saw was too risky. I considered using the plumber’s trick of “sawing” through the PVC with a braided mason’s twine, but there wasn’t room to pull the twine from various angles. Instead, I tried a copper tubing cutter. After only a few rotations, it cut cleanly through without any damage to the wires.
