Tubing Cutter
What’s The Best Power Tool For Cutting 1/2″ Metal Tubing?
I need to cut lots of thin wall metal (usualy brass) tubing for applications in the lighting industry. I need nice clean perpendicular cuts and find a hand tubing cutter to be slow and “messy”. However I would rather not have to use a huge 14″ chop-saw due to space considerations. Can anyone recommend a power tool that will do the job without being way over powered – preferably bench mounted?
With no offense to others who answer, nor to you,,,Number 1 has the best clue so far.
I have to wonder however, since it seems to be your stock in trade, why not research more deeply into pipe cutters that can be more stationary.
What I more enjoy about the spin type pipe cutter is the clean cut aspect, as opposed to any other, and again with no offense a sawzall etc. still means mounting the stock to keep it stable, and doesn’t strictly promise a straight 90 degree cut. Plus the residue needs more cleanup/out.
Also regarding thin wall stock. The speed of any blade, in conjunction with the weight of the device, might distort the stock in cutting.
Regarding “Messy” perhaps in part it has to do with being operated by a human, again, no offense, and the fact that the wheel needs turning to engage the blade deeper in each spin, even on thin stock.
As you are “IN” the industry, and may need the “tool” to be mobile, I’d look deeper into specifics, if I was in need.
