, posted Sun 10 Apr 17:18  
I've always cut them straight across, (perpendicular for you harvard types) and have generally acheived the desired results.
I take a pair of wire strippers and with one of the wire stripping ports just slightly smaller than the diameter of the cap tube I want to cut I use it to score the cap tube enough so that when I bend the tube it snaps in two.
Clear as Mud?
This usually makes for a nice clean cut with a full bore opening on your cap tube. if not, it's easy enough to clean up with your pocket knife or an awl pic.

If it don't fit force it.
If it breaks it needed to be replaced anyways.

I not exactly sure what you are asking. I was taught to take a file, with the edge of the file work my way around the line cutting in well but not penetrating it. Then with a quick snap of your wrist the capillary will break clean with no restriction.

The best way to escape a problem is to solve it.
