Internal pipe cutters cut PVC pipe from the inside rather than outside. These can be attached to a drill and be used similar to a drill bit. Choose between schedule 40 and 80, find best value in our pipe cutter sets.
An internal pipe cutter can cut a plastic or pvc pipe from the inside, they have a small blade attached to a metal rod that can be inserted into the pipe and cut from the inside. Examples of applications are: drain pipes, sprinkler drops, broken pvc and abs pipes and ductile iron pipes. An adjustable internal pipe cutter for a drill will fit a standard 3/8” drill for easy use in the field.
How do you use an inside pipe cutter?
✅ Step 1: Always wear safety glasses or a full face visor before cutting.
✅ Step 2: Insert the cutter into any standard cordless drill and then secure the bit in the chuck.
✅ Step 3: Make sure drill in forward mode, do not operate in reverse.
✅ Step 4: Insert the bit into the pvc pipe needing to be cut. Squeeze trigger slowly at first and let the blade start cutting into the pipe wall. The drill should be at right angle to the pipe, begin turning pipe 360 degrees to complete the entire cut.
✅ Step 5: Avoid contact with any hard surface like concrete as it will lessen blade life or possibly damage the blade.
✅ Step 6: Cut is complete and ready for install.
