Is there any way to cut a cylinder with helix all around?

#2

How about Duplicate helix, set radius to zero, loft between two helixes, Boolean the helixes loft and cylinder?


#3

What GW said with another option.
Sweep a thin rectangle along the helix
Adjust rotation to level out the shape
Boole sweep out of the cylinder or tube as shown.
