Grinder + thin cutting disc???
If it ain't broken, fix it anyway (just because).

I use the Silverline tail pipe cutter makes a clean cut if you don't rush it, but I have never tried it on SS

Same as above.
Wrap a sheet of A4 paper around the tube to get a even cut.

I bought an Evolution chop saw, recently, its really good and cuts tube really cleanly, at any angle you like.
I haven't tried it on SS either, but provided you get the corect blade I reckon it would do that too.
I got it from the Bay, refurbished for a really good price too ![](/images//smilies/smile.gif)

made all the cuts on mine with a hacksaw.
Found a web app that prints out templates for angled cuts.
Put in the tube diameter and the angle you want, print out the template, wrap it round the tube.

Ditto - I bought an Evolution saw new from Screwfix a few years ago. It cuts wood and metal cleanly with the same blade.
