Questions & Answers
Can I cut iron pipes with this cutter, or only cooper?
Hi! This will only cut copper.
Does it come with reaming pen?
Hi Nick - The Milwaukee® Close Quarters Tubing Cutters set does not come with a reaming pen. - Milwaukee Tool, Social Team
does it cut stainless still csst gas flex hose pipe?
The Milwaukee® Close Quarters Tubing Cutters are optimized for cutting copper pipes. - Milwaukee Tool, Social Team
Will these work on pvc or rigid pipe?
Hi GateDoctor! Our Milwaukee 3/4 in. Close Quarters Tubing Cutter is designed and suggested for use on copper, brass, aluminum and thin-wall conduit
Are these meant for soft copper tubing as well? ie, A/C refrigerant linesets
My guess would be they would work as long as the soft copper tubing has the same OD as rigid copper pipe since the cutter works based on those standard diameters and the tool locking on the pipe so the spring can force the cutting wheel to stay in contact with the copper as you turn it. The adjustable type would be a sure thing since you can vary the cutting wheel to achieve more diameters by adjusting the wheel with the knob. Plus you would only need one tool for most applications and the close quarters is typically not needed in those situations. Otherwise I am very happy with my set and use them quite regularly, but I am using them with standard plumbing copper pipe.
Yes
Where are they made?
China if I’m not mistaken. I do my best to buy American made but the quality and durability of these cutters have far outlasted the competition.
According to Milwaukee Website it is made in China.
How does it cut the pipe which way do you turn
you turn it either direction, the cutter whell is spring loaded.
There is a black arrow on the cutters, push the cutters on the copper until the cutting wheel clicks in place then spin the cutters in the direction of the arrow.
There is an arrow on the side showing you the correct direction depending on the way you place it on the pipe. Looking at the picture above you would rotate them clockwise.
I don't have them in front of me but if you look at the picture there is a black arrow that shows the direction of the cut on each tubing cutter.
It is self tightening just follow the arrow
I know that some Milwaukee products are still made in the USA? Are these included on that list, or are they chinese? This is a serious question, not a political rant.
These items are made in china.
No there pretty cheap Lenox ones are a better brand
china
