If you don’t have an inexpensive mitre box, it might be worth picking one up.
You can get them for as low as a few dollars and they work great for cutting
square ends on all sorts of items. They store easily and are completely
portable.

I'm obviously late to this one, but...
When cutting metal free-hand, I was taught to use my thumb of the hand holding
the item as a guide. Sounds painful, but it actually isn't...barring
unforeseen accidents, of course. Just stick your thumb out while holding the
item, press the hacksaw

aand leave it to Google Groups to make it really difficult to post
photos (or reply privately) from a mobile device AND to rotate the photo in the

We all deserve better. Apple and Google USED to put the user first.

Used to use a bolt cutter. But I like hacking it off more. I use a table
vice to hold the hacksaw up, and actually run the struts slowly through the
hacksaw. It takes longer, but it's cleaner, and less of a chance for the
strut to bend.

Hmm, a Dremel vise clamp to use with the Dremel tool I already have. This could

Even a small pair of bolt cutters will work quite well on struts, which are
made of relatively soft and easy-to-cut aluminum. I’ve cut struts effectively
this way. Bolt cutters will leave sharp edges, which you might way to soften
with sandpaper.
A Dremel tool with a cutting wheel will also
In any case, just overshoot your cut by about 1/8". Easy to take it down
further with a file. Much more difficult to grow it back.

Find something with a hole approximately the same diameter as the strut and
use that as a guide for the saw.
Or use the spine of a book you don't totally care about as a guide.
Or use a piece of electrical tape as a guide.
Or just go for it by eyeball, squaring and cleaning it up with a
