Never attempt to cut round workpieces without a jig, they could rotate and bind with the blade!
Lukas built this jig in order to crosscut 100 mm acrylic pipe for Project:Fish Cages, but it should also work for less precisely round pieces (logs, branches) or smaller diameter pipes/tubes.
some 3D printed T-slot guides were screwed into the underside of the sled at just the right places for nice tracking on the machine table
