PLAS In-Line Rotary™ Cutters are excellent for cutting 4” to 28” (110 - 800 mm) diameter PVC or PE pipe in-trench or above ground. Each PLAS rotary cutter needs just 6” to 8” (153 - 203 mm) clearance around the pipe. Outboard rollers keep the cutter aligned on pipe, ensuring a square cut every time. The tool’s carbide-tipped blades for PVC are long-lasting and penetrate up to a 2” wall thickness. Each PVC cutter also can produce, in-line with the cut, a 15° bevel on both sides of the cut. In addition, Reed has developed a hardened, tool steel blade to cut PE pipe. The curved blade drives chips out of the way, making PE cuts much easier. Regular PLAS in-line rotary cutters can be retrofitted for PE by purchasing the new blade (#94485) separately.
