Pruning shears, like to trim rose bushes. Work great!

AC Moore sells a dowel cutter in the woodcraft section. It runs about 10 bucks, and has an angle guide on it.

My Dremel tool - easy, quick, and straight. I keep a couple of the cutting wheels with my cake tools so they stay clean - use them ONLY on cake dowels.
I tired an exacto knife, and cut myself. Decided to use scissors and almost cut my finger off. Then said "DH!!! YOU DO THE DOWELS! IM DONE!!!" lol. Maybe I need to get what you all use!
Dog nail trimmers. Sharp curved blades on both sides of the scissors kind.
now that's a great idea! i've wanted to know what others use...i think i'm going to try this...with a new dog nail trimmer of course!
I use dog toe nail clippers to cut wooden dowels......just make sure you don't use them on the dog! And also never bring them on site when you deliver a cake.....everyone looks at you with a strange expression on their face....
ummm . . . I meant can I talk you into SPS? I like a support system that foolproof.
Yes Leah s you can talk me out of using wood dowel rods. I have use SPS, DIDN'T know you could pop that piece off the legs at the top. I learned something new from you. I will retry that system again. I've also used Coast cake tier system and cake jacks, the cake jacks are great, just too expensive. Thanks Leah s.
