Reed 04474 PLAS1PE PLAS In-Line Rotary Pipe Cutter, 6″ – 12″
Reed PLAS1PE Description
PLAS In-Line Rotary™ Cutters are excellent for cutting 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, making them easy to operate in trench and with lower prep costs. Outboard rollers keep the cutter aligned on pipe, ensuring a square cut every time. Each PLAS cutter also can produce, in-line with the cut, a 15° bevel on both sides of the cut. For cutting PVC pipe, the long-lasting carbide-tipped blades penetrate up to a 2″ wall thickness. For cutting PE pipe*, Reed developed a hardened, tool steel blade. The engineered blade tip drives chips out of the way, making PE cuts easy to accomplish. PLAS In-Line Rotary Cutters can retrofit from PVC to PE or vice versa with alternative PLAS In-Line Rotary™ Pipe Cutter Blades.
*PLAS Cutter Specific Limitations for PE:up to 14″ pipe (355 mm) – 2″ (51 mm) wall thicknessup to 18″ pipe (500 mm) – 1 1/2″ (38 mm) wall thicknessup to 28″ pipe (800 mm) – 1″ (25.4 mm) wall thickness
