There are several options ranging in price.
1) best options is a cutoff saw with a metal cutting blade/disc. Cuts shafts like butter. Unfortunately, it is also the most expensive option, but the only option for a high volume shop. Also works on graphite shafts.
2) If you are a home tinkerer like me, you can use a standard Hacksaw, but pick up a Tungsten Carbide wire cutting blade (usually $2-$5 at any hardware store). Then wrap masking tape around the shaft at the approximate length you want to cut it. Measure the length and mark it on the tape. Using a shaft adapter (also about $2 at a Golf store) and a bench vise (hopefully you already have one, but if not, you can use a clamp and any hard surface) secure the shaft as close to the cut line as possible for stability. Now, slowly draw the blade across the tape so that it is just above the cut line. The groove in the tape should hold the blade in place as you start cutting. Apply more pressure as you start sawing and cut the shaft. If you have belt sander, I'd also recommend sanding the end to avoid burrs which can be hard on your grips. Also works on graphite shafts.
3) A standard hacksaw blade, but it is much harder to cut straight, and they wear out much faster than the carbide blade. Don't try this on graphite because the teeth will catch on the fibers and could de-laminate the end of the shaft.
4) A tubing cutter makes a very clean cut. Use one with a hardened cutting wheel. Some wheels are only hard enough to cut copper tubing. Not for graphite, it will crush it rather than cut it.
5) A hand held high speed cutter. An air powered one can be found for fairly low cost. It's like as small cutoff saw. Also works on graphite shafts.

How do i trim a golf shaft?
For a steel shaft, a tubing cutter is the best way. You get a clean cut perpendicular to the axis. You'll need to have a hardened wheel that can handle the stainless steel. For high production volume shops a cutoff saw with an abrasive wheel is typical.For graphite, a hacksaw with an abrasive blade works well.If you want to know how much to cut off, you can get basic recommendations from whoever sold you the shaft.

Why does a rubber seal wear a steel shaft?
Rubber cannot cut steel, however the formation of carbon based cutting agents through exposure to ingress over time between the mating surface of rubber and steel will create a wear pattern and the illusion that the rubber has actually cut steel.

How do you extend the length of a golf club?
You need to take the old grip and tape off the golf club, then you cut a shaft extension to size and then with shaft epoxy glue it in place, this is because the rules state that any extension must be fixed. Then let that dry for about 20 minutes or so and then just regrip it as normal.
Can you still use a golf club if the piece connecting the shaft and the head no longer sticks?
If the hosel is broken, it's probably not worth fixing. If the shaft has broken, leaving you with a clubhead with a little bit of shaft down in the hosel, it's not a big deal to re-shaft it. A local golf shop can do it, or you can use it as your excuse to explore the wonderful world of clubmaking. Best case there's enough of the broken shaft sticking out so that you can grab it with vise-grips. Heat the hosel with a propane torch until the epoxy bond fails, then twist the broken piece out. If not, you can use a shaft extractor, which is like a screw extractor (a.k.a. an easy-out to get a grip on the shaft, then heat it with a torch as before. Either way, once you get the hosel cleaned out, re-shaft as usual. You can most definitely drill the excess shaft that is broken off in the hosel if that is the case, then if you want, you CAN make an even cut across the old shaft, as low as possible, and use that shaft to reshaft, but that will result in a club up to 2 inches shorter. Regardless, if you do reshaft, find the strongest epoxy you can, because I have been reshafting clubs for a good while and I have given up on the cheap stuff, it just doesn't cut it. (Especially on irons) Your local pro can and will repair the club if it is worth repairing, but don't bother if it's not worth more than $50-$100. You can reshaft yourself by drilling out the old piece of shaft left in the head or heat the shaft/head up to break the old glue bond and pull. Find a local place that sells heads, shafts, etc of try www.golfsmith.com. They have a wealth of information.
