I got called out for my lazy cable housing cuts

A guy at the shop in Denver told me my housing ends looked 'chewed up' and it was making his installs harder. I started using the Park Tool CN-10 cutter and deburring every single one, which honestly fixed the issue. Anyone have a better cutter they swear by?

Forget the cutter for a second. Check the housing itself. Some of the cheaper, plastic-lined stuff is just brittle and wants to split no matter what tool you use. I had a roll of Jagwire that was a nightmare until I switched brands. A good cutter meets bad material and you still get a messy end.
