Default Cutting Braided fuel lines

I have been running my stainless steel fuel lines all afternoon and in order to cut them I use a wet saw typically used for cutting tile. This method works really good and I geet very nice cuts. Now I have almost everything In the car and one hose has a frayed end and I cant get the hose fitting over the end there. I have this hose clamped to my car in 1000 spots and dont feel like pulling it out cutting it on the wet saw and then stringing it threw again. So does any one have a smaller ez technic to clean up or cut the end of this hose offthat I could trywere I wouldnt have to pull this hose back out? (the end I need to cut/clean up is under the car where it returns to the gas tank)
