Capacity : 20"-36" or 476-915 mm Cold cut large diameter steel, most stainless steel, ductile, and cast iron pipe in close quarters. The low profile design of the RC models needs only 8” clearance for pipe diameters above 16”. Each cutter is supplied with a slip-on handle that is used to turn the cutter around the pipe in one direction. The handle is also used to tighten the cutter every 1/2 revolution. Best manual cutters for ductile iron. With good leverage from long handle, pipe snaps off squarely before wheel penetrates halfway through pipe. Cutters have heavy-duty frames. All sizes use the same cutter wheels: either RCS8-36 for steel and RCI8-30 for ductile and cast iron. RCX wheels cut up to 25/32" wall thickness for steel pipe. Reed Rotary cutters cut pipe safely, easily, quickly, and at a low cost. Provides a square cut and can be used anywhere - in the ditch, underwater, in explosive atmospheres (cold cut), in noise-free zones, over head, in racks of pipes, etc. Reed Rotary cutters last for decades.
