Exclusive to Reed, this innovative tool, HPC8TN, is designed specifically to cut without deforming or crushing thin wall pipe, yet retains all the advantages of Reed's standard Guillotine Cutter. The thin wall cutter works by simply rocking the tool on its built-in wheels around the firmly anchored PE pipe, thus effectively slicing the wall of the pipe without crushing it. HPC8TN requires 30?? 60? swing and up to 6? clearance around pipe to get the cut started. Once the wall has been breached, the remainder of the cut is made in the normal way. Blades can be sharpened or replaced.
