Remember that the center hole is no longer round when you turn the donut into a helix. You may need to trim it a little bit, especially near the 'cut' in the donut.

Cutting polycarbonate with avaition shears may prove useful.

Also, maybe try to be a lot more precise with your cutting? I am sure it can be done...
