I must confess I don't have any issues with my ancient 20 year old pipe

Wheeled cutters leave a rolled over lip, though. That's what the 'V' on
the end of most is used for - to remove it.


I'm not sure that it's a problem. So long as any swarf is removed it
should be OK.

What you want to eliminate are any bits that could potentially break
off and circulate in the system, rather than making the end of the
pipe perfectly smooth.
