The tubes come as 20 footers.
Ok. It doesn't look like super high precision is required. Whack
them with an abrasive chop saw, and get/make an inside and outside
reamer to debur them. Seems like speed and overhead cost is the
over riding factor here.
I've seen a whole strapped bundle of EMT being cut into short lengths
on a chop saw.

We use 1/2" EMT and cut the bundles in a horizontal bandsaw. The
factory sure bundles them very tight.
