That's why those pipe cutters usually have a triangular piece that swings out. (see it on the side)
.
When you're done cutting the pipe, you're susposed to take that triangle piece, swing it out, put it in the pipe and give it a few turns. Which in turn, opens the pipe back up.
It's much quicker, easier, and just cleaner than a hack saw.
EDIT: BTW, if the tirange doesn't fit the pipe, you need a bigger tubing cutter.
