What am I doing wrong?
I'm using a tubing cutter to cut 1/2" EMT. Works great, but leaves a
burr on the inside surface of the conduit. *So I bought a Greenlee
deburring tool.

But I cant fit it into the conduit to get the burr off! *The burr is
of such a size that it narrows down the inner diameter of the conduit
so much that the tool wont fit into the conduit to do its thing.
Is there a different deburring tool to use? Different cutting tool? Is
this just a crappy deburring tool? *Is there something wrong with my
cutting technique?

I just use my linesman pliers to debur it and use a hack saw for
cutting. I grab the end of the pipe with the pliers and twist, the
edge of the plier jaw knocks off the burr smooth enough to not cut my
finger if I stick it in the pipe and rim the circle. Souds like your
pipe cutter is actually compressing the end of the pipe and its not
really a burr.
