An apparatus for cutting analytical instrument tubing includes a blade for cutting a tube and a clamp assembly configured to securely hold at least a portion of the tube. The clamp assembly is movable between a first position to hold the tube in a first cutting location relative to the blade and a second position to hold the tube in a second cutting position relative to the blade. A tube advancement mechanism is operably connected to the clamp assembly. A method for cutting an analytical instrument tube having a first cross section and a second cross section proximal to the first cross section includes positioning the tube in a first cutting position relative to a cutting edge of a blade, at least partially cutting the tube across the first cross section to form a first cut surface, advancing the tube to a second cutting position relative to the cutting edge of the blade, and cutting the tube across the second cross section of the tube to form a second cut surface, the second cut surface having fewer imperfections than the first cut surface.
