I use a recip saw all the time for everything from conduit to PVC to construction channel (unistrut). With a little practice, you can make square enough cuts without a jig. The problem with this tool is lack of capacity, 4″ PVC is a big part of my job.

Sawzalls are not the tool of choice for neat cuts on tubing or pipe. They are the go-to tool for demolition and deconstruction - where accurate 90 degree cutting is less of an issue. We use lots of Milwaukee Sawzalls and even a few Makita branded ones - but will not likely buy one of these gadgets from Seatek (who make great tools to deal with Greefield and flexible conduit).
In the field - we’ll stick to pipe and tubing (internal and external) cutters (Ridgid and Reed Brands) and for SS Tubing - Imperial-Eastman cutters.
In the shop we use a powered hack saw, a chop saw a big Marvel Band saw for really big pipe fabrication - along with the wheel cutters.
