Questions & Answers

Are there burrs on the inside of the tube left by this tool What if we want to cut wires embedded in an EMT that is inside a wall that is already installed?

Yes, it is. A burr is not really there, but the edge left by the blade is just as sharp as the edge of a single disk cutter for thin wall conduit. The edges don't really matter on an exhaust system, but I go ahead and smooth them

Are oil filters going to be cut open by this?

The first time I did this, I got stuck. I'm sure it can be done but the thin wall of the filter is bound to crush and become wrinkled up during the process, so I'd suggest dismantling it with a saw or Dremel.

Is this machine capable of cutting plastic tubing such as PVC and ABS?

Having never dealt with anything like that, I cannot comment. In order for it to work, the size would not go below 1 1 and a half inches. Since the steel cutting discs are made for steel cutting, they have to be strong, so as you get farther from the metal cutting edge, the discs become thicker. The cutting discs would also mush the plastic outwards if used on, for example, a 3 inch ABS pipe as the discs go inwards. You would have to file off the larger lip on the outside diameter. Additionally, ABS might be too thick for allowing the cutting discs to go all the way through. As you can see in a lage 4 inch single dis tubing cutter, the cutting disc has a diameter of 1 1/8-inch (so it could cut thicker materials) whereas on the exhaust cutter it has a diameter of less than 3/8 inch. It is advised that a large single disc tubing cutter is the best tool to use when cutting pipe once it has been disconnected from the car. Designed for use as part of the exhaust on a car, the chain-type exhaust pipe cutters can handle exhausts with a limited amount of If you're interested in making a comparison of ABS and PVC cutting tools, you might want to search for tools that are made for cutting ABS and PVC. It is my understanding that the exhaut pipe cutter will not be able to cut any deeper than 1/165" A 1/8 inch space between the chain and tube between the chain and

What will happen if chain link fence posts are cut with this?

Do you have tube posts for commercial fences? The sawsall is what you need to finish it! With enough time and muscle it might work, but first you need time and muscles! There is no need to use this tool for the job you propose to do. It is just a guess, but I would say the cost of commercial fence posts is The difference in thickness is 15 inches as opposed to. Measure the thickness of the muffler wall in 06-08.

I tested it on 1
5/5

It worked very well. There are important tips to remember when dealing with a 5 inch exhaust pipe Here's some tips It is essential that you anchor the pipe by some means otherwise you will have a harder time twisting the wrench to achieve the desired result. Here's another example Make sure the chain is oiled! A few drops of air tool oil did the trick. ***NEXT TURN *** After you have the wrench around the pipe, do a light squeeze for about a 1/4 turn, at least a 1/2 turn is recommended, but a 1/4 turn should be fine in tight spots. You will feel the blades sink into the small groove when you squeeze the handles incredibly hard. You should be able to hold the wall tightly and twist 1/4 to 1/2 inch Be careful not to lose your grip. The pipe in the pictures took me about 7 minutes to do, so it does take a little bit of effort to complete, but nothing laborious. I am very pleased with this tool, it's easy to use, and did the job well in a small area without a.

If you have a lot more patience than I do, it works
3/5

There are no more complicated features to it than a pipe cutter There is only one job that it does. The game is a slog, and frankly, it sucks. Trying to cut off an oversized exhaust flange on 3' of 304 stainless steel spent a good couple of hours trying to do that under my car To be fair, it did start cutting after a while, (underline "start"), but keeping this thing steady on the same cut is another challenge entirely. I couldn't keep it tight enough to cut through any reasonable diameter pipe, much less one of any reasonable thickness. Wrenching it back and forth and forcing it to stay tight was a frustrating exercise in attrition. With a few words to myself, I removed the catback, took a hacksaw to it, and in less than 20 minutes the job was finished and the catback reinstalled. Similarly, I highly recommend you do the same to spare yourself a few blisters and.

This is a great product, but please be sure to follow the instructions to the letter
4/5

For the past six months, I have been using this item. In addition to cutting my car and projecting on my car, I've used it for general purposes a few times as well. As long as it is used properly, this is a good product. As I was making my first exhaust cut, I mistakenly rotated the cutter 1/4 of a turn to cut the pipe. This failure resulted in an uneven cut and necessitated getting another tool to cut through the last 1 inch that was missed. The goal is to cut evenly by rotating a joint at least half a turn during each movement. I like the grip on this. I had no problem holding onto it. Power saws are difficult to use in tight spots, as opposed to hand saws. Moreover, it is more secure. In an emergency, you could use a hacksaw, but it would be cumbersome to hold a hacksaw and hard to get long strokes with it.

Cutting BMW 409SS is possible
5/5

To lubricate the rollers and cool them, use water or oil (engine oil or similar). Although it will take me time and patience to cut the exhaust cleanly, I believe I can. Two sections had still been cut when I saw that the rollers were In order to cut the exhaust, you would need to If there is no room to rotate the tool, you will likely not be able to steer the chain through the gaps, and you might not even have enough room to get the chain to run.

For me, it was a dud after three cuts
4/5

In my view, this should be considered a disposable item. is useful for doing exhaust work, but I found that it was dull after three cuts. I managed to make an additional cut using it, but it was difficult. I really like that it only requires a quarter turn of the wrist to make the cut, and there is In my opinion, at the price, it is worthwhile, and bought a second one to work on another exhaust. There is a replacement chain available, but at the moment, it is the same price as the whole.

Steel tubing is not compatible with this tool
3/5

Maybe it can cut a tailpipe, but after 15 minutes, when using cutting oil, it was barely scratching a wall 2 in the 1/8" range. The steel tube is 5 inches in diameter. After that, I used a hacksaw to cut the wood The 15-minute cut takes care of the problem. For the second cut, I used a sawzall This was much easier, it took only a few.

The non-profit sector can benefit from this A system of pipes that expel waste
3/5

This method did not work on my 2" diameter muffler pipe that I tried it on, and it couldn't even "catch" even on the closest cutting blade (i. e. To close the wrench, you should open it and then close it on the closest cutting blade (i. e. Due to this, I had no choice but to use the blade that was next closest, but the blade would not close on the pipe, even though I squeezed it until my hands felt like they would pop off! It was only possible for me to simply score the surface of the pipe, and it was not an even cut. It is the uneven distribution of power that causes the biggest problems With "blades" that are rounded and arranged evenly, you can't put between them In that regard, this pipe was useless due to its size. I assume it was my muffler pipe. My attempt to use it on some wider, thinner pipes and rods that I needed to cut down to size for recycling followed that failure, and it resulted in excellent results. it is clamped on the pipe, the wrench "bite" right into and through the stainless steel pipe like butter (despite its claim that I had no problem with it on relatively "easy" stuff (i. e. Hacksaw or sawblade probably could have been used on some of those items) but not on the allegedly intended use. In the event that it worked on its target, it would have been a great success. Considering that it didn't, and I already had an alternative for the other uses in my life, it was not worth the price.

It is a must-have to cut exhaust pipes
5/5

It is a very good cutter tool for exhaust pipes that is quiet, fast, and can drive through tight spaces. my first time using the application and I found it to be very useful. The instrument is used in conjunction with a Digital Caliper to determine Adoric's zero degree An 8" Calipers Measuring Tool, and a couple of other tools After I completed the piles at autoparts, I was able to fix some rotten parts in the exhaust pipe to pass the inspection, which Toyota Dealership wanted $400 for. It is recommended.
