Contrary to the tips of others:
It really isn't that tragic with _round_ pipe. You always can rotate
them a bit when you lay them out on your welding table. Or flip tubes.
When I was working as a steel constructor, we never cared that much
about this with tubes. Just, after the first cut, pull them staight out
of the vice -without rotating- clamp and cut.
They weren't warped more than the rectangular sectioned ones. :-))
