If you're cutting at a point in the curve, it's nearly impossible to measure both sides accurately and to the exact same point. Take the removed portion of the bar and tape it on the other side (easier than trying to hold it steady while making sure it's perfectly lined up) to make the mark for cutting.
Oh yea, and pipe cutters are great.
