WTF? Dremel?
I use a chainsaw myself, gives you those nice jagged rough edges.
What kind of tubing? Metal, rubber, silicone, etc?

Ew, ClearFlex (sorry, had to). And using a Dremel will be very time consuming and pointless as opposed to a razor or some nice, SHARP scissors. The tubing isn't that rigid.

I use a tubing cutter... IMO its the only way. I have tried scissors, razor blades... knives...etc... but an actual tubing cutter (which can be bought for $5-$10 at a local hardware store) just makes a world of a difference with cutting tubing.

PVC pipe cutter as used by electricians, works like a charm.

I use a "Katana" myself for cutting the tubes! I tried everything else inlcuding using my teeth to chew off the tubing, but none of them gave as smooth a cut as the Katana.

I think you should be asking, "How can you fail to cut tubing?".
