Provided is a rotary cutting tool for cutting elongated objects such as electrical cable armor. The tool includes a frame or yoke with a rotary cutting element supported thereon. A pair of spaced-apart workpiece-contacting elements or guide members are supported on the frame and positioned on opposite sides of the cutting element to make contact with spaced-apart portions of an elongated workpiece radially outwardly of the cutting element's cutting edge. The workpiece-contacting elements are yieldable toward the cutting edge to an extent sufficient to allow relative movement of the cutting edge into cutting contact with the workpiece and to thereby guide and brace the workpiece against substantially tangential movement relative to the rotary cutting element.
