When you do a net search there's many diff. tubing cutters out there, any one have a favorite? Mainly looking for a cutter that will cut exhaust tubing, sometimes steering column pipe. Being able to cut square to tube is a plus! Thanks!
Ridgid Tool pipe cutter , i have a 2-1/8" and a 4" plenty of used ones around....put a new cutting wheel on it and you are good for many cuts
Femi makes a great product. Kind of expensive, but I really like the one I purchased. Cleaner cuts than a chop saw too. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I use several different tools for cutting exhaust tubing (and other tubing). Usually a chop saw, sometimes a hack saw, and if it's in the car and needs to be cut, I use a chain roller cutter
I used an Imperial- Eastman tubing cutter for years to cut thin wall ( up to .065 wall )Stainless Steel tubing . There were two different size cutter that were used depending on the diameter of the tube. It is important to use a hardened cutting wheel for stainless and don't force it otherwise you end up threading the tubing rather than cutting it. Another solution is to use a tubing vise with a guide for a hacksaw blade. The second solution is probably best unless you are in the field.
we use a Rigid #30 cutter on our pipe bender in the shop. it cuts perfect straight and seems to last a long time between cutting wheel changes
For cutting out old pipe, I use the cutting torch or the Vise Grip tubing cutter, like Squirrel described. For fitting, I normally use a Rigid pipe cutter, and a cutting wheel for fitting pipes like the crossover. Bob
