Question Cutting stainless steel braided hose

Okay, I've done this before and maybe I'm just tired and I can't get this done right. I'm trying to cut an end off my -6AN fuel line and the end of it keeps fraying and as you know, I can't seem to get the AN fitting on. I normally just use electrical tape and a cutting tool on a dremel and it works fine, but this one line is kicking my a$$ ! Does anyone have a better way of cutting the end of an AN line?

tape and go to a hardware store and use the bolt cutters they have. if there is any fraying, go to the isle with the tin snips and take care of that. :]
