I’ve gotten it to work following your tip. It’s a really strange tool… I haven’t decided whether I like it more than a hack saw. It’s more comfy, but seems to take a bit more time; and that progressive tightening is a bit annoying. But no question about the beautiful cut that it produces 🙂

What you do is place the tubing on the mark you want where the rotary blade is and snug it up against the tubing. You then rotate the tubing cutter around the tubing which will start to scribe the exterior surface of the tubing. Adjust the cutting blade in another half turn or so and repeat. Eventually, you’ll adjust the blade down deep enough as you spin the cutter assembly, that the tubing will have a nice, even, round cut in it. Don’t ever just tighten the blade further and further without spinning the cutter assembly.
