A piece of angle iron to draw straight lines 180 degrees apart, and a very sharp knife and a steady hand.
In addition to the previous suggestions, use a dowel or spent (or new) BT-5 motors inseted in BT to prevent crushing tube during cut. -- Richard....Hickok

Use a knife?
Seriously. use the t-bar or door frame technique to mark the two sides, then use a long skinny pair of scissors.
len.
I can't recall where I saw it, but I do recall someone, either in a magazine, newsletter, web page, or whatever describing a body tube splitter they built. IIRC it used a band saw, and had some sort of follower piece behind the blade to keep the tube from rotating.
Any one else remember where this was?
