Do you have a precision miter saw like this, or similar?

Very thin, fine teeth, minimal set so it cuts a very narrow kerf. As for how 
many cuts the blade will last cutting carbon fiber???

Greetings all;

An unusual question. How to cut, neatly, and squarely, a 20mm square 
carbon fiber tube to length, say 550mm out of an 800mm tube. I'm making 
a linear rail bearing X axis for two of my 3d printers,

I have a die grinder that I can mount in a quick change holder, and a 2" 
by 30 thou CBN disk and 1/4" arbor, and a 4 jaw chuck on my Sheldon.

Do I need to print an 18mm square plug to insert into this tubing to 
support the 1mm thick tubing walls, or can a relatively light grip be 
enough to hold it fixed while I turn slow and cut it off with the CBN 
wheel running at about half line voltage in the die grinder?

All I can see in my minds eye is a hugely ragged edge cutting it by hand 
with a hacksaw.

Better ideas anybody?
