Plastic pipe cutters In and of itself, “cloning” a product isn’t always a bad thing. I t’s just bad in this case because this generic design was low quality to begin with. I’ve tried several brands of these Chinese-made internal PVC pipe cutters, and they all have many glaring flaws in common: they overheat easily, they take forever to make a cut, they can’t cut pipe that’s encased in concrete, and they need to have their blades replaced after one or two cuts. Now, you’ll find as you start to work out in the field that a very common aspect of many jobs will be the need to cut PVC pipe . This is a major skill that you should concentrate on learning during your plumbing apprenticeship because it has so many different applications. For example, sometimes pipes will be damaged beyond simple repair and you will have to cut and replace sections. Other times you will be installing long runs of pipes and cutting into them at certain points to glue on a fitting, such as a 45 or 90 degree PVC pipe bend. Cable saws are a lesser-known and rarely used tool for cutting plastic pipes which is a shame as they are absolutely excellent at it. Also known as wire saws, these simple devices are so easy and safe to use that a simple 30-second instructional video is all you need to know about them.

A real asset to any plumbers tool box is a Ratcheting PVC cutter. These can be very safe and simple plumbing tools , and they can cut a variety of pipe materials and sizes up to 1.5 inch OD. As with a most of hand tools, you have a lot of control and can make very exact cuts. Before you start, you can mark the pipe where you want to make the cut and let the blade hover over that exact spot. Then rest the blade on your predetermined cutting point before squeezing the handle. This will engage the bottom half of the tool to the bottom of the pipe to start the cutting. The only thing is that these tend to make more of a mess that, say, a ratchet cutter. This should be fine, though, so long as you’re mindful when you cut and you make sure to wear eye and hand protection.

The most obvious tool we’d recommend for plastic pipe cutting is a plastic pipe cutter. These simple tools are essentially one-bladed scissors with handles, no sharp teeth, and a convenient shape for grasping PBV pipes of different sizes and delivering easy and precise cuts. All in all, cutting a PVC pipe is quite easy but there is still some important know-how to it if you want the job to go smoothly, easily, and safely. Since they usually consist of just a handle and the blade, there is no frame that gets in the way, and so you can cut pipes of many sizes. Basically, the ratchet cutter essentially works by using pressure and leverage. There is a blade on one side of the ratchet’s “jaws” and you progressively increase the pressure until the blade cuts through your section of pipe. Because of the ratcheting mechanism, it actually doesn’t take a lot of strength to do this and just about anyone can use this tool . (Though it can make your hand cramp up if you’re cutting a lot of pipe over and over.) It saves energy and is easier to use compared to the “scissor” style PVC cutters that have no ratcheting mechanism. A few of the major benefits of using this pipe cutter include: Still, if you have the need, space, and expertise to use an electric miter saw, it’s undeniable that it’d do a great job at cutting any PVC pipe you feed into it. Before you start cutting

Three core SWA Cables are live, neutral and earth, unlike two core which is only live and neutral. Three core cable is for Class I or Single Insulated which must have earth connections. 4 Core SWA Armoured Cable Like any other large electrical tool, miter saws are pretty loud so they are not recommended for apartment dwellers or anyone without a separate workshop or large tool shed. The reasons why this is the most common way is mostly in the safety and ease of use a PVC cutter provides. With such a tool you can deliver a clean cut without putting your hands at risk in the jaws of the pipe cutter. What’s more, plastic pipe cutters also don’t leave any jagged edges on the PVC pipe that need to be cleaned after and they are very quiet to use.
