There may be better ways to to it but I will share what has worked for me. When cutting the steel braded hose I tightly wrap the area to be cut with masking tape, several layers. I then place the hose in a vise keeping the area of the cut as close as possible to the vise jaw. I then cut with a very fine tooth hack saw. The tapes does not completely eliminate fraying but does keep fraying to a minimum. I then use a bit of WD-40 on the fittings to prevent galling and it helps the fitting in the hose also. I don't like the red/blue an fittings as they scratch and show signs of wear very quickly. I like the nickel plated aluminum fittings that look like stainless but without the additional cost and weight. There is a special machine for cutting the hose but it's not cost effective to go out and buy one. Just my .02.
