Cut pipe quickly and with minimal digging using Reed Low Clearance Rotary Cutters. The low profile design of the LCRC models needs only 5 inch (127 mm) clearance for up to 16 inch pipe diameter. Safe, clean, straight cuts are easy with these manual-operated cutters. They cold cut large diameter steel, most stainless steel, ductile, and cast iron pipe in close quarters. LCRC cutters are supplied with a slip-on handle that is used to turn and tighten the cutter. With good leverage from the tool's long handle, pipe snaps off squarely before the cutter wheels penetrate halfway through the pipe. Provides a square cut and can be used in close quarters anywhere - in the ditch, underwater, in noise-free zones, over head, in racks of pipes, etc. With general maintenance and cutter wheel replacement, Reed's Low Clearance Rotary Cutters last for decades.
