Product Description — NO.2 Pipe Cutter
The NO.2 Pipe Cutter is a professional-grade manual pipe cutting tool designed for plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and electrical applications. With a cutting capacity of 1/2" to 2" (12mm to 50mm) diameter pipe, this is the standard size used by tradespeople worldwide.
The cutter features a high grade malleable cast iron body that provides excellent strength and durability while remaining lightweight enough for daily use. Tempered alloy steel rollers ensure smooth rotation around the pipe, while the hardened tungsten steel cutting blade delivers sharp, clean cuts through copper, brass, aluminum, and steel pipe.
A key design feature — the wheels align together for cleaner, more precise square cuts. This alignment reduces binding and ensures a straight cut every time, minimising the need for reaming and preparation before joining.

📖 How to Use the NO.2 Pipe Cutter — Pro Tips
Step 1 — Open the cutter: Turn the adjustment knob counter-clockwise to open the cutting head.
Step 2 — Position the pipe: Place the pipe between the cutting wheel and the two support rollers. Ensure the cutting wheel is aligned with your cut mark.
Step 3 — Tighten the cutter: Turn the adjustment knob clockwise until the cutting wheel makes light contact with the pipe.
Step 4 — Rotate and tighten: Rotate the cutter around the pipe. After each full rotation, tighten the adjustment knob slightly (1/4 to 1/2 turn). Repeat until the pipe is cut through.
Pro Tips for cleaner cuts:
• Keep the cutting wheel perpendicular to the pipe for square cuts
• Don't overtighten — let the tool do the work
• Apply a drop of cutting oil (for steel pipe) to extend blade life
• The wheels are designed to align together — trust the alignment for straight cuts
Note: Always deburr the inside and outside of the pipe after cutting, especially for copper plumbing applications.

📏 Typical Pipe Sizes — 1/2" to 2" (12mm to 50mm)
💡 Note: Cutter capacity refers to outside diameter (OD) of the pipe. For copper pipe, 1/2" nominal = approximately 5/8" OD. Always measure your pipe OD before cutting.
