Cut mine fine, to be fair though I have a big drop saw at work.
and I cut 250mm off.

Just cut my 2bros cans (stainless sleeves)- they look awesome, though they are only mocked up at present - still need some internal welding. I used masking tape as a guide and cut them with a hacksaw, as I think a grinder is too fast and too agressive. I used a new blade for each can, took my time, turning the can as I went, and after a bit of finishing with a hand file, they have come up almost perfect!
