Pipecutter Cutting copper pipe with a close quarters tubing cutter. A pipecutter is a type of tool used to cut pipe. Depending on the metal of the pipe, a pipecutter can often provide a faster, cleaner and more convenient way of cutting pipe than using a hacksaw. There are two types of pipe cutters.

Arc-based cutting methods are used for cutting these materials. Among these, plasma arc cutting is the most commonly employed technique, owing to its precision and ability to cut through high-alloy steels efficiently. [1] Thermal cutting creates a shallow region contaminated material adjacent to the cut surfaces - the heat affected zone. For ...
A high velocity cutting flame is produced by the huge volume expansion while the liquid transitions to a vapour so the cutting flame can cut across voids (air space between plates). Oxy-gasoline torches can also cut through paint, dirt, rust and other contaminating surface materials coating old steel.
Typical full-size hacksaw frame, with 12" blade. A hacksaw is a fine-toothed saw, originally and mainly made for cutting metal. The equivalent saw for cutting wood is usually called a bow saw. Most hacksaws are hand saws with a C-shaped walking frame that holds a blade under tension.
High-speed steel (HSS or HS) is a subset of tool steels, commonly used as cutting tool material. It is superior to high-carbon steel tools in that it can withstand higher temperatures without losing its temper (hardness). This property allows HSS to cut faster than high carbon steel, hence the name high-speed steel.
Rotary saw or "spiral-cut saw" or "RotoZip": for making accurate cuts, without using a pilot hole, in wallboard, plywood, and other thin materials. Electric miter saw or "chop saw," or "cut-off saw" or "power miter box": for making accurate cross cuts and miter cuts. The basic version has a circular blade fixed at a 90° angle to the vertical.
Portable cold saw with the chip catcher detached. A cold saw is a circular saw designed to cut metal which uses a toothed blade to transfer the heat generated by cutting to the chips created by the saw blade, allowing both the blade and material being cut to remain cool. [1]
