Finally. Someone short and sweet and to the point. 😊Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Exactly what i was needing to know. Thanks
With the cable saw it helps to use a utility knife to cut some grooves into the pipe just to get the cable started in the right place. Thanks.
I love using the table saw, but when I am up in the attic working on a condensate line, the saw isn't that close. So that is when I go for the ratcheting cutter. Great video! Thanks.
Thanks for sharing. Now i know how to cut my DIY pvc.
Thank you very helpful
👍 Thank you, one of the best resources. I was coming to lookup an old video about your grinder table set up and thought this looked interesting. I agree can’t beat chop saw if your not working on a piece installed already. My portable metal band saw it also quick and easy just because it’s already setup
Awesome, thank you!
The squeeze tool did not cut square from what I saw. I just got one and if square is important, the Kobalt 2 inch sucks. The blade moves side to side. I tried to use it and score the pipe and it just kept making groves like a bolt threader. Never made it 360 degrees ending up on the start point of the scoring. The miter saw is where it's at this point in my quest for true 90 degree cuts. Dont forget to true your miter saw fence with a known true square. I use. Cheap plastic drafting square from Staples or my $80.00 6 inch Starrett square.
Thanks for the great summary of cutting techniques! I wish you would add a video on unique challenges, like cutting a 3 inch waste line between two I-joists, which are really deep and impossible to access with anything but a cable PVC cutter with handles. As you have shown, this method creates a wavy uneven edge, which is disappointing. Plus, I've heard that it's dangerous to use a Sawzall when cutting a pipe that has lots of methane gas build up in it, especially after I installed a 3" Oatley plug in the toilet flange above. If you have any ideas, I am all ears!
Nice video thanks for the tips
What kind of a blade did you use on your sawzall? I could not quite tell from the video. Thanks!
To be honest just whatever blade was in there from last job. I think I had a wood blade in
Would you use the ratcheting cutting tool for 1” schedule 80?
Who knew Woody Allen was so handy!?
You missed the best way to cut any size plastic pipe including large diameters; the band saw.
The problem with band saws is that you're limited to producing very short lengths due to the column that the blade travels through. Perhaps a scroll saw would be better, though, those don't usually have miter gauges, so you'd have to eyeball for square.
Can ratcheting tool be used on a 2" schedule 40 pipe? The pipe seems too rigid? Good video
you do a great job with the racheting cutter, I don't know why I just can't get a straight cut it is always off
Any advice for an angle cut ?
Is there a safety concern with using a chopsaw/mitre saw with PVC? I see some people say that the PVC can shatter sending shards flying which can cause injury?
Worked fine for me. Secured the two ends with clamps onto offcuts, which held the pipe in before cutting
I used my cordless skill saw for the initial cut. Then I use a Sawzall for completing the cut-through. Have to go easy because a sawzall blade flexes and can lead to a crooked cut.
How about for 2 in pipe attached to pool pump and filter? I'm scared of the vibration causing loose connections or breaking something. Lol
If your concerned just disconnect the pvc from the filter first.
Superb video 👍
How about 110mm soil plastic pipe what saw would you use thank.
How about squaring a cut if you need to once it is crooked?
I just got an AIRAJ rachet pipe cutter and I can't get a straight cut out of it.
You can use nylon string just like you did with the cable
Sowels
Just use a s/s hose clamp.
I tried using a ratcheting pvc cutter and it just shatters the pvc prior to cutting
At least now you have several options
Dude you forgot the chainsaw
Chop soyyww
Why your want it to be cut square?
Precise cut lengths are good to have if you're making something like furniture.
You want the cuts to be square so that the fittings fit precisely and will not move or leak. Just one pinhole and water will find its way out...
I would be concerned that the ratchet style cutters would deform the PVC tube and make it out of round and causing possible leaks. Could that be true?
Yes, they cut a little crooked. I wouldn't use it for any kind of pressurized line.
In my experience, possible deformity occurred only with thin wall pvc (schedule 80). To cut thin wall, you have to go slow to make sure the blade has begun to cut and is not only pressing. Schedule 40 is fine with the ratcheting pvc cutter.
