Blade Material: In addition to a sharp pipe cutter blade, there are a few different blade types that can improve performance, and strength, enhance the sharpness of a cut, and help with easy cutting. Almost all PVC pipe cutters have undergone some sort of heat treatment to help harden the blade, leading to sharper cuts. Heat-treated steel also helps encourage flexibility so the blade doesn’t break and is able to sustain the cutting force. The pipe cutting result is accurate and straight. Thanks to the lightweightness, the saw is convenient to move around. With this machine you will cut pipe sizes (pipe outside diameter) of 60 mm – 1000 mm (2.3″- 39.4″).

They feature a long handle with a ratcheting mechanism and include a separate, professional-grade wrench to tighten the cutter at every half revolution.

The low profile design of the LCRC models needs only 5 inch clearance for up to 16 inch pipe diameter and only 8 inch clearance for the RC20 and RC24 which cover pipe up to 24 inches. All LCRC, RC20, and RC24 cutters are supplied with a slip-on handle that is used to turn the cutter around the pipe in one direction. The handle is also used to tighten the cutter every half revolution.
