Can anyone tell me the best way to get straight cuts on plastic trunking quickly and easily?
Is a mitre block and saw the best way or do snippers like these work? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shears-Trunking-Moulding-Adjustable-Including/dp/B07SFTHVBV/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?th=1
This is for work stuff so needs to be durable and I want to be able to do straight and 45 degree cuts with minimal fuss/mess. The trunking is fairly narrow (single/double cat5 cable runs only).

Score with a Stanley knife and cut with a hacksaw works for me
A knife does indeed work but I half inched something a bit like this when i did ground water sampling.
its not exactly the same but it was significantly thicker tubes i was cutting. its much faster and much neater than breaking out the saw.
small mitre saw?

Hacksaw then rub off the burrs works for me.

your life may depend upon it
Just a sharp Stanley knife for me.
Got a set of these, the flat bit is removable for if you are doing conduit too.
Though if you’re going for a decent finish use the manufactured bend covers. I think they look better and save time also
Yeah - I use this type for cutting 40mm irrigation poly pipe. Standard issue in Oz. One of the advantages for me is that you can get it into trenches with tight access far easier than a saw or equivalent.
