Can you use a tubing cutter (see link below) to cut acrylic without cracking?

I'm having a bit of a predicament here because I asked a question earlier on about what to use to cut acrylic, and someone answered that you could use a tube cutter like this one:

But I've been looking around and some people are saying to just use a fine tooth saw instead, but others are saying it's fine. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

Also, the link to the acrylic I'm going to use: http://www.performance-pcs.com/bitspower-non-champher-crystal-link-12mm-od-tube-length-500mm.html

You can use either of them (as stated in the other thread). The pipe cutter works as long as you go easy on the tightening and spin it alot. A saw is quicker, but also results in a rougher cut that requires a rasp to finish properly.
If the cutter can get through copper pipe without denting it, you can cut a plastic tube without it cracking.
