In Plumbing, working with steel pipelines often have to separate the initial billet into fragments of a certain size. Of course, a universal hacksaw of metal can be helped, but it is not always convenient to work, and the ends of the cut parts are subject to subsequent stripping. Where better with such operations can cope correctly chosen pipe cutter.

Types and classification of pipe cutters

The task of the pipe cutting of any design is not only quickly cutting the pipe, but also to fix the workpiece before processing. Especially if we are talking about steel pipes, for the separation of which it should be attached much more forces than for copper or plastic products.

Trubores for steel pipes are distinguished by the following features:

1. Through the thickness of the pipe wall (there is a tool that is intended for cutting thick-walled pipes).
2. By the design of the clamping knot - pipe cutters with clamp, lever and screw clamps are produced.
3. By the execution of the cutting node - roller, chain, cutting or snoring (the latter is more often used for cutting low-plastic materials, and chain pipe cutters are more useful when cutting pipes from metal plastic).
4. By type of drive - with manual, electrical or hydraulic. In the professional production of tubular blanks, pipe cutters with a pneumatic drive are used, however, they, although they cut pipes with a diameter of up to 120 ... 130 mm, sufficiently cumbersome, and require the presence of a compressor.

Truboresis for steel pipes should also have some unique features. For example, the blades of the working tool (independent of execution) should have hardness, not less than 15 ... 20 HRC exceeding the hardness of the pipe material. In order to accomplish such an estimate, it is used by a known method for determining the exemplary chemical station of the steel pipe material by the "Sample Script" method. To do this, the end of the pipe is treated on the emery sharpener. The approximate percentage of carbon is most accurately established, but in this way it can be identified also to tungsten, molybdenum and manganese, and, consequently, to establish the original hardness and even approximate steel pipe material:

• For low-carbon unalloyed steel, the spark beam will be solid enough, and have a light yellow color;
• For medium carbon unalloyed steel, when saving the same color of the beam, the number of branches and brighter flashes will increase;
• For ordinary quality, the spark flow will be more subtle, and branching is shorter. Flashes practically does not happen;
• For alloyed steel, the color of the sparks will change to the dense-yellow, and at their ends, instead of flashes, there will be more elongated along the arrow stream.

Knowing the exemplary hardness of the listed steels, you can pick up the optimal hardness of the workers blades.

Principle of operation of manual pipe cutters for steel pipes

The most simply cutting material using roller pipes. The main node of the tool is a hard row, in the rolling part of which disk knives are installed (there may be one, two or three). The mutual arrangement of the knives can be adjusted, depending on the external diameter of the pipe (the diameter of up to 100 mm is considered limit for roller pipes). For long pipes, a tool is produced, which also includes guide rollers. They provide longitudinal stability of the workpiece during its cut.
The following preparatory transitions are performed before using roller pipes:

• Wash the separation surface: at the same time purified by the external perimeter and the rust / scale is partially removed;
• With the help of clamps, the pipe is fixed in the clip, focusing on the marked line of the cut;

Next, with the help of the rod, the inlet head is moving around the perimeter of the pipe, and, gradually increasing the feed, performs cut. With well-sharpened knives, the cut is clean, without burrs. In order to simplify the structure in roller pipes, intended for pipes of small diameters - up to 20 ... 30 mm - the rod is combined with the handle, when moving which is moved.

Apply roller pipes for separating pipes with a diameter of more than 40 mm is not recommended. Although the price of such a handproof and small, but the cut is not high-quality enough, and the physical effort spent is quite large.

A simpler design has cutting pipes that are widely used in living conditions for the cut of steel pipes with a diameter of up to 10 ... 15 mm. Instead of rotating when cutting disk knives, the cutters are used here, which, with a constantly increasing supply, gradually vague in the thickness of the steel. Manual cutting pipebores are advisable to use to cut pipes from plastic materials (steel 15pp to mark inclusive, or for steels of ordinary quality grades Art 1 or Article 22). In this case, the specific load on the cutters is minimal, and the tool does not need frequent blowers, to perform which the known skill will be required. It is possible to reduce efforts by applying surface lubrication by low viscosity industrial oil, or any coolant.

For the cut of pipes of particularly large diameters (up to 150 ... 200 mm), rotary pipe cutters with a telescopic rotation mechanism of rollers are used. Such designs are convenient in that it can be applied in unfavorable conditions (for example, in recesses or pit). The rollers here are mounted along the outer perimeter of the pipe, and then, with a special lever, equipped with a mechanical amplifier, pressed against the surface of the pipe. Gradually increasing the feed, perform separation. Crops are not so much effort as developed torque.

Electric pipe cuts

With a large amount of this kind of work, it is advisable to apply a tool with an external drive, although their price is noticeably higher. Especially convenient (in the presence of a stationary AC network) electric pipe cutters.

Typical design of electric drive for the cut plastic steel includes:

1. Shockproof housing, equipped with ventilation slots.
2. Drive high-breeding electric motor designed for voltage 220 V.
3. Three stubborn rollers that ensure the necessary reise accuracy.
4. The cutting mill, fixed in the slit-singer on the motor shaft, and fenced from the stubborn zone.
5. Lowing gearbox.

The mass of electric pipe cutters does not exceed 1.5 kg, but in many structures there is a fastening of the tool to the locksmiths. Lubricants working zone during cutting is not required.
The design of electric pipe cutters for cutting more durable metal is distinguished by the absence of the gearbox, and therefore the number of revolutions of the cutting tool reaches 3000 ... 4000 per minute. Under such conditions, the lubricant in the separation zone is required. The working tool is made from solid alloy brands of VK5 or VK8, and the disc itself is closed with a removable casing.

The design of the hydraulic pipebree includes a working cylinder, rod and piston, and the required pressure is created by a compact hydraulic pump, which is included in the package. The stroke of the cutter is regulated by a change in the magnitude of the pressure of the working fluid - water. Hydraulic pipe cutters can be used in any conditions, but power is inferior to models with an electric drive.

Opportunities of the most popular models of manual pipe cutting tools

Actively promotes its products to the country's profile markets. Rigid trademark. Trubores from this firm are compact on their dimensions, and at the same time, the pipes of both alloyed and unalloyed steel are qualitatively. In order to reduce efforts with a cutting knot, the rolling bearings are equipped with rolling bearings that reduce friction losses. Returning the cutting rollers to its original position is made by a spring device. The fastening of the rollers is unified and quick, which facilitates the maintenance of the tool. All parts of the pipe cutters are made of stainless steel, therefore cut pipes can be performed even in a wet environment (for example, under water). The lack of pipe cutters from Rigid is the design of the handle that does not allow to develop a large torque during operation.

Reed produced chain pipebores that have proven themselves when performing repair work on cast-iron pipelines. The super rule from REED uses roller execution of the cutting tool, and is more applicable to cutting steel pipes. Cutting discs are made of high-resistant tool steels, which eliminates the appearance of burrs on the surface of the section. Compared to conventional pipes, the tool is characterized by a more convenient form of a power handle, but is not intended for work in conditions of high humidity. Pre-configuring the tool and its submissure during the operation process is not required.

Rothenberger produces disk-type pipe cutters, which are equipped with a convenient clamping mechanism of a clamp type, which is easily redirected under the cutting pipe of a different diameter. The roller tool is distinguished by increased strength and rigidity, and therefore can qualitatively cut the pipes with thick walls. According to the quality of the cutting of pipe cutters from Rothenberger is not inferior to those discussed above, but are equipped with an expanded set of cutting rollers, and therefore is also suitable for working with copper or cast-iron pipes.

Among various types of pipes, steel remains are still among the most common. It's all about their strength. Resistance to large external loads and internal pressure.

There are various steel pipes - according to the manufacturing technology (welded and seamless), features of the protective coating (without coating and galvanized), the thickness of the walls and diameter. At the same time, often in the work is required to obtain several short tubes. For this, a special tool is applied - pipe cutter for steel pipes.

Models and prices

The pipe cutter for steel pipes has different technical and user characteristics, which ultimately reflected at its price. The table provides an overview of some manual models with their parameters and prices.

As can be seen, the pricing policy is determined by the functionality of the pipeline, the range of pipes with which it can operate, an angle of incision and its accuracy.

Video issue of the RIDGID 65S model and the rules for working with it.

Pipe cutter for steel pipes - device and principle of operation

This device is the best tool for accurate cutting of pipes at right angles.

The simplest pipe cutter for steel pipes consists of the following elements:

• A cutting roller, which can be different types, depending on the peculiarities of the pipe, which is supposed to be cut.
• The retainer for the roller roller fastening to the frame and the case for its placement.
• Rama is the basis in which the roller is placed.
• Feed handle - with its help rotation and cutting pipes are performed.

Schematically, the device is shown in the figure below (in the disassembled state).

The pipe cutter for steel pipes works using the mechanical force of rotation of the feed screw. The pipe is fixed in the frame and fixed by clamps on both sides. The screw begins to rotate, as a result of which a groove is formed in the pipe wall, which deepens until the pipe is complete. At the same time, the screw of pipe cutters with one roller rotate for a complete turn (360 degrees), and devices with 4 rollers are twisted by 120 degrees, since each of them cuts its fragment of the pipe.

IMPORTANT. In some cases, special hacksaws for metal are used to cut pipes. It is especially convenient when you just need to get 2 or more fragments from one product. However, if you need even edges and a straight angle (this is especially relevant for subsequent carvings), then the pipe cutter for steel pipes turns out to be the only tool that can perform such work.

Scope of application

The device is used for mechanical cutting of pipes from any materials (steel, copper, cast iron, ceramics, plastic, metalplastic). However, in most cases, it cuts pipes only from some particular material (although there are also devices that can cope with steel and with plastic pipes).

With this, some pipe cutters are cut exclusively at right angles, while others are able to cope with any cuts (mainly from 45 to 90 degrees).

IMPORTANT. Trubores of any species are used only for cutting round classic pipes and are not suitable for working with profile pipes. The reason is that the device of their mechanism involves performing rotational movements around the surface of the pipe. The profile has a square and rectangular shape, so it is cut with the help of a grinder or hacksaw for metal.

Views

Varieties of pipe cutters are classified depending on the objects of cutting and the features of the cutting element. Accordingly, the following types of tool are distinguished:

Video instruction: on working with pipe cutter.

Often, there are often supplements that allow us to provide the safest conditions for working with pipes. So, with the help of a quick compression mechanism, you can quickly fasten the large pipes in the device without using a special screw. Also, pipe cutting can be equipped with additional removable cutting elements focused on pipes of various thickness, and rollers that carry out the movement of the device around the pipe.

Methods of cutting pipes

Trubores for steel pipes have different technical execution (in the form of manual devices, machines, automatic mechanisms), depending on several factors:

• pipe parameters that need to be cut (wall thickness and outer diameter are taken into account);
• required cutting accuracy (especially relevant for the further use of pipes in water pipes);
• the quality of the surface of the pipe after cutting (the smooth surface is required in cases of carving on the pipe further);
• production volumes (home or industrial extent).

Accordingly, the following methods of cutting steel pipes are distinguished:

1. Laser cut;
2. Cutting on disk machines;
3. Cutting with disk saw;
4. Use of professional cutting machines;
5. Cutting on tape sawing machines.

Laser cut

Laser pipe cutter for steel pipes makes cutting with a laser. In this case, the surface of the pipe does not receive mechanical damage due to the absence of direct contact with the cutting element. The pipe is fixed by clamps on a special table (using the snap) on which the laser head is located. The pipe is rotated by a special mechanism, and the laser exactly cuts steel according to predetermined parameters. In this case, it is possible not only the mechanical separation of the pipe into several parts, but also cutting into its body of any elements (for example, the grid, as shown in the figure below).

The advantages of this production are obvious:

• this is a safe cutting method, since all the works are automated;
• it is enough to carry out simply even specialists with low qualifications;
• the surface is cut perfectly along the contour, there are no scratches and other mechanical defects;
• you can make cuts of any size;
• production is fast and waste-free (applied for professional purposes).

Cutting on a disk machine

It is performed perpendicular cuts of pipes. The product itself remains smooth, which is of great importance for further work with it. The machine can make cuts at various angles (up to 45 degrees).

Video about cutting on a disk machine

Cutting with disk saws

The pipe cutter for steel pipes based on the disk saw is applied in cases where the production volumes are small, and the final product must have high quality. The disk saw cuts the pipe by turning 360 degrees. In this case, you can get a cut at any angle.

Used manual and automatic disk saws. At the same time, the latter perform an order of magnitude more accurate. Most often, this cutting method is applied only at home.

Video overview of one of the circular saw models.

Professional pipebores

Pipe cutter for steel pipes, which is used for high-quality cutting, is a professional device, with which you can make a section of pipes with any diameters (including with large) and virtually any corners depending on their further use. For this, the mechanism is supplied with retainers that adjust the position of the axis rotating the knives. The disk that cuts the metal is equipped with a special cap that protects it from mechanical effects and allows you to exploit it for a long time. In this case, there are several disks with diameters from 1 to 12 cm (thickness up to 8 mm).

In this case, the efforts of the worker are minimal - often the devices are supplied with a special mechanical drive that starts the mechanism by simply pressing the pedal.

Features of work on cutting pipes can be seen here.

Cutting on a tape sawing machine

Such machines allow us to cut rather large pipes (up to 32-34 cm in diameter) and operate with high performance, which allows them to be used in production.

Pros device in the following:

• high quality surface of the cropped pipe (no burrs, roughness, edges not melted);
• cuts can be done both at right angles and other angles (up to 6 degrees);
• cutting accurately corresponds to the initial parameters that are specified in advance.

Machine video record on the example of one of the models

Hand cutting technology with pipe cut

Regardless of the technical characteristics of the pipeline, the sequence of action on cutting pipes with it will look approximately the same:

IMPORTANT. You do not need to press the cutting roller into the body of the pipe with great strengthen. This may damage it, as a result of which the mechanism will have to replace new.

Tool care

The duration of the operation of the tool largely depends not only on compliance with the basic rules of working with it, but also from the correct care. Compliance with the rules presented below will significantly extend the life of the device and provide high-quality cutting of pipes with it.

NOTE. Work on the instrument that contains even small visual damage is undesirable. The fact is that the wear of the cargo will go much faster, as a result of which the quality of the cutting will decline much.

How to choose the device

To choose the most suitable pipe cutter for you for steel pipes, you need to proceed from the following parameters:

• What quality cutting will be acceptable (surface roughness, burrs, degradability of edges).
• How important is the cutting speed (depends on the total volume of pipe manufacturing).
• What parameters are pipes with which it is mainly to work.
• What skills have a manual cutting worker.

IMPORTANT. If the pipe cutter for steel pipes is incorrectly selected, it can lead not only to the damage of the workpiece and the device itself, but also to serious injury. To the choice of the tool you need to approach very responsible, because such a purchase is done for a long time. At the same time, the price factor must stand in the last place: the main requirement is a complete compliance of the tool of the goal for which it is purchased.

Production of pipe cut with their own hands

If for some reason it is not possible to purchase a professional device, it is quite realistic to make it with your own hands from ordinary materials available to almost everyone. The advantages of this option are as follows:

• such a device will be cheaper;
• it can be adapted specifically under its needs (trimming the pipes of the specified parameters);
• with its work, you can learn to be new and acquire a valuable experience that is useful in other areas.

NOTE. At the same time, before starting work, it is necessary to immediately determine exactly which pipes will be cutting. From which materials they will be made (Truborez is not a universal tool - there are pipe cutters only for metal or plastic; there are much less often the devices of universal use).

What will take for work

To make a tool independently, a small set of tools and materials is required:

• set of wrenches;
• screwdrivers;
• hoven for metal work;
• square skate;
• spring;
• hackstone.

Also in the paper will need a bolt and screws of special sizes, which depend on the parameters of the device itself. Metal rivets are selected by conventional sizes (diameter 0.4 cm).

The sequence of work is associated with the phases of the manufacture of left (1), the right half (3) tools and their assembly. The drawing for example is given below.

Figure 2 indicates trimming of the canvas, 4 - clamping screw. The dimensions are indicated in millimeters and can be proportionally recalculated under the specifically your model.

Video with an example of the manufacture of chain homemade pipes for steel pipes.

The implementation of various communication, construction and repair and installation work provides cutting pipes from steel on the fragments of the required size. To do this, you can use a simple primary tool, for example, a metal hacksaw.

But intelligent and practical to purchase pipe cutter for steel pipes. This unit will speed up the process and make it much less complex and time consuming. Let's figure it out in the varieties of this tool, the principles of its work, as well as the features of the choice of equipment.

Modern models of pipe cutters intended for cutting steel pipes of various diameters, differ from the type of actuator.

Manual Tools are considered the easiest and do not require special skills for use. Usually they are simply fixed in the treatment area, there are several revolutions and a fragment with a clear cut is obtained. However, this option provides for the use of significant physical effort and for large-scale work is not suitable.

Handheld pipe cutting is very simple to use, but to use it for a long time without proper physical training will be quite difficult. It is better to leave it as a one-time "helper" to solve local repair and installation problems

Electric The aggregates make out of more durable, wear-resistant materials, so they are suitable for active use, easily cope with intense loads and can qualitatively cut steel pipes of any diameter, including large.

Electric pipe cutters not only make a clear, smooth cut without burrs, but also carry out the processed areas of the part

Pneumatic Trubores are related to professional equipment. They provide high processing accuracy and promptly make the necessary cut.

Cutting pipes of any thickness (from thin-walled to 60 millimeters). Allow the necessary work in a small room and have the function of the boring of the inner diameter of the pipe under the subsequent welding.

High power and easily cope with increased industrial loads.

In everyday life, pneumatic pipe cutters are extremely rare, as they have considerable weight and impressive dimensions. Included with them usually goes a special trolley, intended for the movement of the unit for the work territory

Hydraulic Trubores do not require connection to the power grid, and in the work use the principle of fluid pressure. Pouring through the pump, it affects the piston and causes an aggregate into action. When the water pressure decreases, the cutting elements are returned to its original position.

Tools of such a class are more powerful manual, but electrical devices are inferior in all parameters.

The selection of the unit, first of all, depends on the scope of work that is planned to be performed. For one-time application, there is enough simple hand tool, and for large-scale events (such as the gasket of communications on the personal site) it is better to use the electrical option.

If there is no possibility to connect to the network, for household purposes, you will have to consider purchasing or renting a hydraulic pipeline. In industry, the most productively use pneumatic machines for cutting steel pipes.

With a string of steel pipes of a large diameter, it is not recommended to put on a grinder working element for a tree or stone. The inconsistency of the density of the incisors can provoke damage to the workpiece, and subsequently - lead to a breakdown of the tool itself

But nevertheless, Bulgarian is suitable only for the implementation of one-time cut-free work. For regular large-scale events, it makes sense to acquire a more enduring and strong unit.

Rules of operation and care

So that Truborez serve for a long time and reliably, high-quality cut off and did not spin the pipe wall during the work, it is very important to choose the optimal level of the clamp of the steel part.

Do not delay the workpiece too much. This can trigger the mismatch of the beginning and end of the incision line, creating on the details the inesttic visibility of the screw cutting.

If the steel pipe is clamped in pipe cuticle clearly, but not overly hard, the pruning will pass quickly, the knife track will remain on the part, and the edge will turn out to be smooth and smooth

The rotation of the mechanism should be uniformly, but not very fast. Otherwise, the walls will sound and at the cut-off site are formed excess cut metal.

For a correct and long service after work, the surface of the cutting roller, the feeding screw and guide rollers is purified by a special means, and then treated with lubrication.

The outer surface is inspected on the subject of dents or other damage, and the chips are grinding so as not to interfere with subsequent operation. Cutting elements (cutter or roller) examine on the bungeance and, if necessary, immediately replace.

Truborez leaves in a dry and warm place. After such procedures and comfortable storage conditions, the device will retain performance for a long time and easily cope with all tasks.

This "device" provides the perfect cut - smooth, without sowing, and also removes the system from falling inside sawdust. Let's talk how to choose pipe cutter for steel pipes, and is it possible to make the tool with your own hands.

Cutting pipes - not such a difficult occupation as you can imagine

Tool classification

How to choose a pipe cutter for steel pipes so that it serves in more than many years? First you need to learn what tools the market offers than the difference between the models, and then decide which option will be the most acceptable for the "front" of work in your "nest".

So, pipe cutters are divided into such types.

1. By mechanism, action:
   • manual;
   • electrical;
   • with hydraulic drive;
   • with pneumatic drive.
2. In accordance with the thickness of the walls of the pipes that will have to cut:
   • for thin-walled structures, which, in addition to stainless steel, can be attributed by metal-plastic, copper and brass products;
   • for thick-walled pipes (steel and iron, having a diameter of 12 inches) - pipe cutters equipped with special snaps in the form of clamps.
3. By the design of the product:
   • roller (produce models with 1 or 3 rollers);
   • rotary;
   • with a snoring mechanism;
   • cutting;
   • chain;
   • telescopic.

It is worth paying attention! Not all models of pipe cuts are universal. Sometimes for cutting pipes of different networks, for example, sewage and water supply has to buy two pipes. If you need a universal option, carefully read the instructions.

Meet some types of pipe cutters

Tips for choosing

The main element of the pipe cutter is a metal frame, which is often made of wrought steel. And by the rest of the component, the models may differ. Let's talk more about the most sought-after from them.

Manual pipebores

How to use manual pipe cutters for steel pipes? Everything is extremely simple: "Device" put on the pipe and move to the place where it will be necessary to cut the structure. Fix clamp - so that the tool rotates around the pipe. Then rotate the pipe cutting around the axis - then in one, then in the other side.

Most often for work use cutting and roller models.

The cutting unit is equipped with a steel rope, which worst with high-strength steel with cloves. Their position is adjusted additionally. A pair or even one cutter is placed on the movable part, which is regulated by a threaded rod (in cheap models with a handle with such a rod). Thanks to the "device", the slice is clean and smooth. The rubber tube "on the teeth" of the design with a diameter not exceeding 10 cm.

The second common variant of manual pipe cutter is roller. There are models either with 1 or 3 rollers. Pipes of large diameter (1.5-10 cm) can be mastered only with the help of "deviss" with 3 rollers. If the diameter of the design does not exceed 0.5 cm, then the pipe cutter with 1 roller is suitable. This model is good in everything, except that there are burstages after the operation. Such a problem can also be solved with the help of a cencona, but all this is troublesome.

Model with rollers

Manual pipe cutters are the pets of homeowners seeking to do everything in their own hands. The devices are not enough that inexpensive, so also easy to use - to work with them you do not need to have special experience or preparation. True, when using such "devices" will have to work hard, simplicity in this case is based on physical strength.

Electrical models

If it is necessary to work with the pipes professionally, or you will build one house after another, it will not be superfluous to purchase electric pipe cutter. Such an aggregate is more productive. You can work with him literally playing without applying efforts.

True, you should be ready to post a round sum, but if your budget is not too compressed, you will certainly acquire an automated unit. In the farm, such a tool will be useful.

The only drawback of electrical models - they cannot be used in hard-to-reach places of the pipeline. But for such cases, you can buy a simple manual "device".

You will find two types of power tools - detachable and delicate. It is more convenient to use the plug-in model consisting of a housing, divided into 2 parts. Thanks to such a device, an aggregate can be cut even ready - mounted pipeline. Therefore, this model is the "chopper-corrosive" for lovers to make mistakes and those who intend to engage in communications independently.

The cutting element in the electric pipe cutters are cutters, which in the "device" is present at least 2. One of them is designed for cutting, the other - to remove the chamfer. The device is attached to the design with the help of cams, which can be from 4 to 8. The standard model "on the teeth" of the product with a thickness of steel is up to 1 inches. If the walls are thicker, you will have to look for a special type of incisors.

For which processes can be used the electrical model:

• torching;
• removing chamfer (external, internal, as well as with dulling).

So the electric model looks like

The procedure for working with an electrical device is as follows:

1. The detachable parts of the unit are placed on the pipe. Then the clamping elements align strictly vertically. The quality of the installation depends on the quality of the cut. The cutters are placed on a distance of 2 mm from the alleged cut. It is possible that a construction level will be needed for such a process. In order to make sure the installation is correct, make a complete turn. It happens that the diameter of the selected model is too large for the pipe that you need to cut. The way out of this situation is simple: purchase special cams and impose them under the mounting mechanism.
2. Cutting process. In the electrical models actually all automated. Follow the instructions, and the car with the cutters will fulfill all the work.

It is important to know! In order for the tool to serve for a long time, and the cuts were perfect, use a lubricating and cooling agent.

In general, electric pipe cutter for steel pipes is an exit for homeowners who do not have adequate physical training, while saving time and want to live in unison with advanced technologies.

Truborez do it yourself

Is it possible to make hand-made pipes for steel pipes with your own hands? Of course, only this secret, most likely, own your fathers and grandfathers. But now you will comprehend the useful secret.

First prepare the components of the parts, namely:

• square (1.5 sq. 1.5 cm in size) rod;
• bolts M8, M6;
• spring;
• canvas;
• steel tapes (1.5 by 0.4 cm);
• metal rivets with a diameter of 0.4 cm.

Phased manual cargo assembly guide:

Step 1. Prepare a workplace and tools.

Step 2. Sex the sharp edges of the parts intended for the manufacture of the pipeline.

Step 3. Tail fragment Katanka trees under the handle.

Step 4. Make a bend within 90-120 degrees.

Step 5. Attach the spring under the clamping bolt.

Collect the tool, focusing on this drawing:

And now about how to use the device.

Fragments of a length of about 4 cm long, aiming for 3-millimeter fonts, clamp the M6 \u200b\u200bscrews between the cheeks and the housing. Make sure the teeth of the canvas are directed in one direction. Put the homemade unit on the pipe, please adjust it by using the M8 bolt. Rotate the device around the pipe and grab the screw. With each turnover of teeth, the canvas should be divered into the design somewhere on half a millimeter.

Experienced homeowners argue that 3 parts are pleasant enough to cut several dozen pipes in half.

With the help of such a device, you can even make washers. To do this, be used 2 times more paintings - that's the whole secret. Just choose not long fragments, because only the central part of each of them is involved in the process.

It is worth paying attention! Did not find in the farm, cloths, but many stories have accumulated? Use them, the quality of work such a replacement will not harm.

Successful cutting to you!

Video: All about the pipes

A piece of pipe can be cut off in many ways, whether it is a hacksaw, Bulgarian but at the same time the cut may not be very smooth, and sometimes it is quite critical. For a more even cut, the pipe cutters are very expensive, if the diameters of the pipes that you plan to cut them quite large, from 40 mm and higher. But you can make such a tool and myself without spending a lot of money on it, since we will do pipe cutting from the chain and a piece of square pipe and a couple more details that for sure you have in the garage with a breathtaking. Except that it is necessary to have a cutting roller for the pipe cut, it is consumable so they are sold separately in stores. Such pipe cutters can be cut as steel, copper, duralum so PVC plastic pipes. Plus, such a tool works quietly and it does not need electricity for his work.

What is necessary to create a pipe cut:

• Steel profile square cross section;
• A piece of chain from a motorcycle;
• Cutting roller for factory cargo;
• Strips of sheet metal 5-7 mm thick;
• Bolt with nut;
• Segment of the steel pipe (sleeve).

How to make pipe cutting from a chain and profile, manufacturing process:

First, we make the holders for the cutting roller, for this we drill in the strips of the sheet metal hole, I already had ready-made such mounts.

We collect the holder, for this we put the roller between the fasteners and tighten them with a bolt with a nut.

Then you need one end of the chain to welcome to the handle.

To the second end of the chain now welded a piece of studs.

Then you need to privacy by the end of the knob of the circular sleeve through which itch should be loosened.

Everything, for the stud pick and our chain pipe cutting made with your own hands is ready!

Now it remains to test it, for this we put a hairpin in the sleeve and screw the nut on it.

Press the pipe into vice, wear pipe cutting on the pipe and tighten the nut, then simply scroll through the pipe cutting around the pipe gradually with each turn of tighten the nut on the pipe cutter and then scroll the tool around the pipe until the pipe is completely cut off.
