Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a pipe cutter and a tube cutter?
A tube cutter's blade is constructed of stainless steel, whereas the cutting wheel of a pipe cutter is made from rugged and toughened steel which is much stronger. The pipe cutters require a harder cutting wheel as they have to cut through heavy-duty materials.
Can you use a pipe cutter to cut PVC?
The quickest, easiest way to cut a PVC pipe neatly is to use a PVC pipe cutter which resembles a pair of pliers with a thick, extremely sharp blade affixed on one side.
How can we cut a metal pipe without a pipe cutter?
Users can use a reciprocating saw, hacksaw or steel-pipe tube cutter to cut a steel pipe. It functions similarly to a cutter for copper tubing.
