Used a pipe-cutter on a seat post, now the cut end is flared. Tool to fix this?

Noob problem: I used a small pipe-cutter to shorten a seat post, and the cut end is now flared enough that it will not fit in the seat tube.

1. Is there a tool I can buy that will fix this, while giving the cut end a smoother edge?

2. Is a hacksaw the correct DIY tool for this job? (short of using an expensive power tool)

Thanks
