Milwaukee M12 PVC shear cutter
Clamping a block onto the
side of the Milwaukee
M12 PVC shear cutter
allows me to cut small pipe sections at the same length without
measuring and marking.
Why am I cutting several
small sections of PVC pipe? To make the new and improved EZ miser chicken waterer.

Even better...
Even better yet, make your block into a jig that has a stop for the part you want to cut. Just slide until you hit the stop, and you won't even have to eyeball it. Not that it likely matters in this case, but you'll get better accuracy (repeatability) as well as faster throughput.

Sticky Jig
Funny you should say that Jim...because that's how the first version of the jig went, but the first cut showed how it wouldn't work. The piece would be lodged between the blade and the jig not allowing the blade to spring back and creating the step of pulling the piece out instead of letting it drop in a bucket.

PVC pipe
That looks like a nice tool! I'd like to see how it handles black walnuts. Oddly, the second post in a week about cutting PVC on Blogs That I Follow http://sugarmtnfarm.com/2013/08/29/cutting-pvc-pipe-with-string/
