This design has great handles and allow me to get leverage when cutting pipe. General Tools 858 PVC Pipe Cable Saw The tool comes in a few different sizes that allow for larger pipe cutting. Only thing is that since the main force that this cutter relies on is the opening and closing of your hand, it’s difficult to cut a pipe that is more than about 2.5 inches in diameter because it requires a lot of pressure . For smaller pipes under 1.5 inches, though, this is probably the best PVC pipe cutter to use.

Using an electric miter saw requires safety tools, precautions, and experience, as accidents and injuries are far from uncommon with these tools.

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.

Commonly known as SWA cable, the steel wire armoured cable is a power and auxiliary control cable, designed for use in mains supply electricity. What is an SWA Armoured Cable?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:

The seven core cable prime purpose is for low-voltage connections with a max of normal 50Vdc. Each core is made from copper conductors within the steel armouring.
