Try flat cuts (90 degree to the tube's length) that only partially penetrate the BB shell. I was ticked off to find out that Mainland finished the Superior framesets in this fashion.

well, your seat tube is square and doesn't extend to the inner diameter of the bb shell. I'm not that big on where the free surfaces of the tubes end up in the bb, but the seat tube is taking a lot of stress there, and it would have paid for them to extend it all the way into the shell. Obviously it has held up.
