Robust Guillotine Pipe Cutters are designed to cut PE pipe thicker than SDR17 within 1/8 (3 mm) of square on medium and high-density pipe. The accurate cuts from Reed Guillotine Cutters mean no facing is needed for electrofusion and only minimal facing for butt fusion joints. Durable, non-stick coated blade makes many square cuts with no chips to clog valves and small openings. Slight taper on blade allows an easy start to the cut, and holds form for a nice, straight cut. Blades are easy to sharpen or replace. NOTE: HPC Guillotine Pipe Cutters cut PE ONLY and will not cut PVC or PP pipe.
