I have cut my last few dozen with a credit card.

tape them all together and cut them on a bandsaw or radial arm saw

I have used a pipe cutter for years. Quick and easy.

Longtoke x3.  Roll on table under a knife. Easy.

I wack them off all at once while there still rubber banded together with my band saw.

As others have said, leave an extra 3/4" or so for the point taper. I cut mine by rolling them on my workbench with a knife blade. This makes a nice even groove, then just break them at the groove.

As stated above, leave enough room for the point taper. I use the Mini Cut Off saw from Harbor Freight. I believe that Big Jim has them also. Does a great job and goes quickly.

I use a fine toothed coping saw.

I find if you don't cut a good square edge the taper can be uneven.

Yep, the old pocket knife and a table. Works great on POC.  Don't make woodies any harder than they have to be.

I've had great luck doing such with Douglas Fir too.

Good sharp knife, X a bunch.Roll carefully so as not to make the cut spiral (be sure to follow the initial cut; I like to mark the circle on the shaft on my spin tester-hand rolled style).
IF, by chance, the end isn't square, I simply touch it  up with an emery file (sand it). I like to leave 1" for the point taper.

Lik many others, roll em under a razor knife on any flat surface, we've even done em on a tail gate of a truck   :dunno:    :dunno:
