Metal blade on a jig saw. Use masking tape to wrap around to create a straight line.

Sawzall AKA reciprocating saw with the metal blade or another high TPI blade. Like someone else said, wrap it in tape to get a strait line

Table saw works great...I find it easier if I stack and stagger a few pieces of MDF like a set of stairs and make them a little longer than the length I want to cut of the pvc. I push the stair guide in towards the saw until the saw cuts into the stair guide by about 1.5-2''. I then hold the stair with one hand and roll the pvc with the other hand. Having the stair there helps roll the PVC without it getting off center and helps prevent binding up the saw. It might not be the safest way but it works great for me and I get straight cuts everytime.Team S.P.E.A.D Team Kicker Team Maxxsonics
