I just cut it and then touch up the end buy holding the rod against a belt sander at an approximate 60° angle while spinning the rod.
That's how I do it too!
Me too. sometimes I use a bench grinder.

Most threaded rod is super soft and can be fixed up with a flat file very easily.

I wouldn't use tin snips since the edged can get nicked easily screwing them up for fine cutting on sheet metal later.
