Product Details

Product Overview
Large Rotary Pipe Cutter|20"–36" Low-Clearance Cold Cutting Tool
This large rotary pipe cutter is suitable for cutting extra-large 20"–36" / 476–915 mm pipes, including steel pipe, stainless steel pipe, ductile cast iron pipe, and cast iron pipe. Maximum steel pipe cutting thickness reaches 19 mm when using the RCX cutting wheel. For pipe sizes 16" and above, only approx. 20 cm clearance is required, and the operating rotation angle is only 45°–60°. It is suitable for safe cold cutting in large municipal, industrial, and special-environment applications.
Cutting Capacity
20"–36" / 476–915 mm
Applicable Pipe Materials
Steel pipe, stainless steel pipe, ductile cast iron pipe, cast iron pipe
Steel Pipe Cutting Thickness
Maximum 19 mm, using RCX cutting wheel
Clearance Requirement
For pipe size ≥ 16", only approx. 20 cm clearance is required
Rotation Angle
45°–60°
Applicable Environments
Trenches, underwater work, explosive environments, stacked pipe processing, and large pipeline projects
20"–36" extra-large pipe cutting can still be completed in low-clearance environments

The core value of this tool is not general pipe cutting, but handling extra-large pipe diameters, low-clearance conditions, and high-safety jobsite requirements. The small 45°–60° rotation angle reduces required operating space, while cold cutting is suitable for quiet areas, spark-sensitive environments, trenches, underwater work, and explosive environments.

Conversion Accessories
Conversion Accessories
Conversion accessories allow adjustment between RC30 and RC36 specifications, improving equipment flexibility and making it easier to configure the tool according to different large-diameter pipe cutting requirements.

Conversion accessories help reduce idle tools and repeated investment in large-diameter cutting equipment

For customers who occasionally need to work across different pipe size ranges, conversion accessories can be more efficient than purchasing another complete tool set. For municipal repair, engineering contractors, and warehouse processing, this helps reduce equipment investment pressure and improve tool utilization.

Cutting Wheel Guide
Cutting Wheel Selection Guide
Large-diameter pipe cutting requires the correct cutting wheel according to pipe material and wall thickness. RCS8-36 is suitable for steel pipe; RCI8-30 is suitable for ductile cast iron and cast iron pipe; RCX is suitable for steel pipe cutting needs with wall thickness up to 19 mm.
RCS8-36
Designed for steel pipe
RCI8-30
Designed for ductile cast iron and cast iron pipe
RCX
Provides best steel pipe cutting performance, suitable for wall thickness up to 19 mm
The risk in large pipe cutting is not diameter alone, but choosing the wrong wheel for material and wall thickness

Steel pipe, ductile cast iron pipe, and cast iron pipe have different cutting characteristics. If the wrong cutting wheel is selected, feeding may become difficult, cutting efficiency may decrease, wheel wear may accelerate, and cut quality may be affected. Large pipeline work should first confirm material, wall thickness, and whether an RCX high-load cutting wheel is required.
