Default need to be able to custom cut thin walled PVC pipe indoors

JBI posted for all of us...



I am a student and need to be able to custom cut a thin piece of PVC
pipe of the kind found in bathroom drains, which is a lot thinner than
sch 40. I am doing this for an art project so I will need to cut
precise holes into it as well as just plain cutting of the ends. Is
there something cheap I can use indoors to do this? So far, I tried a
really large, kitchen knife but it wouldn't begin to cut through the
pipe. I also tried a multi piece Xacto knife set with many different
blades, but broke the first blade trying to get through it. Thanks in
advance for any help.


What direction are you cutting it? Longitudinally or cross section?
