Includes cutter wheels for cast and ductile iron. Four wheels cut steel, stainless steel, cast and ductile iron with only 90 to 110 degree handle swing. Only 4in clearance required around pipe. Strong guide fingers insure perfect wheel alignment for square cuts. A closed 360 degree frame forces all energy into cutting the pipe for maximum efficiency. There is no shower of sparks in this cold cut. This is the only hinged cutter that tracks every time and the only one recommended for ductile iron, steel, and stainless steel to Schedule 100. This tool is a Reed invention.
NOTE: Wheels for same size cutters are interchangeable. Recommend only Reed cutter wheels be used with these hinged cutters. Reed wheels are made from high shock-resistant tool steel on computerized (CNC) machines and then precisely heat treated. This allows for a thinner profile yet stronger blade, so they: Cut easier and faster, especially stainless steel and ductile pipe - Last much longer - Allow for shorter cutter handle for work in tight spaces - Provide the best value - Hinged cutters are a Reed invention! They are lighter, track better for square cuts, and require less clearance, yet provide better torque so the cut is made faster and with less effort. Can be used anywhere - in the ditch, underwater, in explosive atmospheres (cold cut), in noise-free zones, over head, in racks of pipes, etc.
