Product Details
Product Overview
Large-Diameter Rotary Pipe Cutter｜6"–16" Low-Clearance Pipe Cutting Tool
This large-diameter rotary pipe cutter is suitable for cutting 6"–16" (159–462 mm) pipes, including steel pipe, stainless steel pipe, ductile cast iron pipe, and cast iron pipe. Maximum cutting thickness can reach 19.5 mm, and RCX cutting wheels can be used for higher-load pipe materials. The tool requires only approx. 10 cm of clearance and operates with a 45°–60° rotation angle, making it especially suitable for large-diameter pipe repair and construction in low-clearance and confined environments.
Cutting Capacity
6"–16" / 159–462 mm
Applicable Pipe Materials
Steel pipe, stainless steel pipe, ductile cast iron pipe, cast iron pipe
Cutting Thickness
Maximum 19.5 mm, suitable for RCX cutting wheels
Clearance Requirement
Only approx. 10 cm clearance required
Rotation Angle
45°–60°
Work Environments
Large pipe repair, municipal work, drainage pipes, water supply pipes, and confined-space work
Large-diameter pipe cutting with only 10 cm clearance, suitable for trenches, underwater areas, and low-clearance work
The key value of this tool is its combination of large-diameter capacity and low-clearance operation. Large pipe cutting is often limited by insufficient space around the pipe, but this cutter requires only approx. 10 cm clearance and completes cutting with a 45°–60° rotation angle. It is suitable for municipal repair, drainage pipelines, water supply pipelines, and dense existing pipework areas.
Cutting Wheels
Cutting Wheel Specifications
Cutting wheels should be selected according to pipe material and wall thickness. Steel / stainless steel, cast iron / ductile cast iron, heavy-duty cast iron, and extra-thick steel pipes require corresponding cutting wheels to avoid reduced cutting efficiency or excessive wheel wear.
3530｜RCS8-36
Pipe wall ≤ 16.1 mm｜Steel and stainless steel
3535｜RCI8-30
Pipe wall ≤ 12.7 mm｜Cast iron and ductile cast iron
3545｜RCDX
Pipe wall ≤ 13.5 mm｜Heavy-duty cast iron and ductile cast iron
3550｜RCX
Pipe wall ≤ 20.3 mm｜Extra-thick steel and stainless steel
For large pipe cutting, material and wall thickness are more important than pipe diameter alone
Steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and ductile cast iron have different cutting conditions. Heavy-duty and extra-thick pipe walls also require different wheels. Selecting only by pipe diameter may lead to difficult feeding, faster wheel wear, or unstable cut quality. Select RCS, RCI, RCDX, or RCX according to actual material, wall thickness, and workload.
Features
Product Features
Built around large-diameter cutting capacity, low-clearance operation, multi-material compatibility, and high-load cutting wheel options, this cutter is suitable for municipal, construction, repair, and large pipeline projects.
Large-Diameter Cutting
Cuts 6"–16" pipes, suitable for large steel pipe, stainless steel pipe, and cast iron pipe projects.
Low-Clearance Operation
Requires only approx. 10 cm clearance around the pipe, suitable for trenches, underwater areas, or confined spaces.
