Hinged Pipe Cutters
feature four wheels to
cut steel, stainless steel,
cast and ductile iron with
only 90° to 110° handle swing.
Wheeled pipe cutters
are used to cut pipes made
from copper, brass,
plastic and thin-walled
electrical metal tubing (EMT).
Unlike a saw, this tool makes
a clean uniformed cut using
a sharp metal wheel. Plumbers,
electricians, HVAC workers, a
nd use wheeled pipe cutters.
Cutting wheels, or cut-off
wheels, differ from grinding
wheels in their function
and structure. Where grinding
wheels use an abrasive to
grind large pieces of material
off a workpiece from a
shallow angle, cutting wheels
typically make narrow,
precise cuts at 90-degree angles.
There are two types of
pipe cutters. Plastic tubing
cutters, which really look much
like a pair of pruning shears,
may be used for thinner pipes
and tubes, such as sprinkler pipe.

For use on thicker pipes, there is a
pipecutter with a sharp wheel and
adjustable jaw grips.
