What can you cut brass tubing with to prevent bending?

[Slave1]

Whenever I try to cut brass tubing it always bends at the end where I cut it. How and I supposed to cut it without it doing this?

A dremel with a good cutting blade will do the trick.

They also sell small pipe cutters.

You could fill it with sand.

Generally I like to cut and roll it - make one slice, roll it, slice, roll it, etc. I use a Tamiya Razor saw which cuts very well.

Put the tube on a flat surface and roll the blade gently yet firmly over where you want to cut it.
Eventually after several rolls the tube will cut cleanly.

This only works for smaller diameter tubes.

If you can find a wooden dowel that would fit snugly inside it would help stop the bending

I'm guessing you're talking the crimp you get from a normal pipe cutter, yes?

Unless you feel like shelling out cash for a lathe (I refer to mine as a $700 pipe cutter), buy one of these. Best damned $20 I ever spent.

I used to use the band saw for beveled cuts, but got the little chop saw, Kywell has linked, and cut tubing using an abrasive disc.

I still use a tubing cutter, the inside diameter of the tube will be crimped a little by this.
However I just clean it out with an Xacto, a deburring tool, or a pipe reamer..

You can also, in a pinch, use a drill bit or counter sink to deburr/flare the pipe.

With aluminum you can use a countersink to make spiffy looking intake flares. Or exhaust flares, depending.
