what do you cut a one piece with?

I've processed around a dozen house cues into sneaky's or plain jain butts.
Never once was I able to safe the shaft section for anything other than firewood.
Since I know I won't save the shaft, I always mark my length I want cut, then cut it half an inch higher with an angle grinder like a caveman, then throw it in the lathe to take it down and face it off.
No point in bothering making an accurate cut off the get-go when you're going to have to face it no matter what anyways.
