To mark a continuous straight line around a pipe (or other cylinder) in order to make a square cut, wrap a large piece of square paper around it so that the edges line up. Make sure the paper wraps over itself and in line to ensure a square mark. To start the cut score the mark with a tri-file so that the hack saw doesn’t wander around as you begin the cut.

How to Remove Ice from Steps, Walkways and Driveways
Icy steps, walkways or drives cause many injuries during the winter months. Here's how to remove ice and avoid a visit to the emergency room.
Thanks for tip. Now I do not have to buy another tool I will rarely use around the house.
Nice. And how do u do it lengthwise?
Glad I found this tip. Big Thank you for you tips on cutting PVC pipping. You made it so simple love the cardboard trick and triangle file for starting a cut. In the past remember cutting slid all over, and had a sloppy cut. 🙂
Thanks so much for the video on how to cut PVC pipe straight. Sounds like a silly question but it is hard. I am doing a Christmas project for our grandkids using 2″ PVC pipe and this video will help me greatly. Simple but very effective. Thanks again.
