Hinged Pipe Cutters feature four wheels to cut steel, stainless steel, cast and ductile iron with only 90° to 110° handle swing. Wheeled pipe cutters are used to cut pipes made from copper, brass, plastic and thin-walled electrical metal tubing (EMT). Unlike a saw, this tool makes a clean uniformed cut using a sharp metal wheel. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC workers, a nd use wheeled pipe cutters. Cutting wheels, or cut-off wheels, differ from grinding wheels in their function and structure. Where grinding wheels use an abrasive to grind large pieces of material off a workpiece from a shallow angle, cutting wheels typically make narrow, precise cuts at 90-degree angles. There are two types of pipe cutters. Plastic tubing cutters, which really look much like a pair of pruning shears, may be used for thinner pipes and tubes, such as sprinkler pipe.

For use on thicker pipes, there is a pipecutter with a sharp wheel and adjustable jaw grips.

Flexible grinding wheels allow the operator working on the metal more flexibility. With more flexibility, it offers more forgiveness. It provides an opportunity to avoid the common bounce and chatter from the machine on the metal that is naturally going to occur. The two most common disc sizes are 4.5” (115mm) and 9” (230mm). Grinders with larger discs are particularly well suited to heavy-duty applications, whereas those with smaller discs are ideal for finer work. TYPE 27. Type 27 is by far the most common abrasive grinding wheel. Type 27 grinding wheels differ from other wheels in that they have a flat profile with a depressed center. A depressed center allows for clearance when the operator must work at a constrained angle. Grinding discs are suitable for metal and stone applications across a range of machine sizes. The main use of such discs is in the removal of materials. However, they can also be used for the finishing and preparation of stone and metal surfaces. Grinding plates come in different standard number sizes (based on diameter size) to match the size grinder you have. Besides the standard number size, grinding plates also come with a variety of hole sizes for making fine , medium, or coarse (chunky) ground meat. For surface grinding, use the flat part of the wheel, maintaining a 20°-30° angle between the tool and the work surface. Position the blade guard at the back toward your body.
