Cutters for 40mm waste pipe

[Best]

I use a predator wood saw. I have one for timber and one for plastic. Then deburr with stanley.

On push fit wastes, - how do you taper the outside end of pipes? Just a file?

 

[Best]

what tools do you use and links if pos?

Here's a photo. Both are old, - I also have a new unbranded sharper pipe shear.
The tool for tapering the pipe is basic but brilliant. Have no idea if they are available.

Only use solvent weld. On the very few times I cut push fit (today ) then the stanley knife does the job.

Just so hard to fully and evenly do a nice taper by laboriously filing or using a knife.
I used to cut all waste pipes with a large hacksaw and carefully have to file them for push fit to prevent the rubber O ring getting pushed in or damaged.
Rarely need a file for anything now, although I still sometimes cut wastes with hacksaw.

Soil pipe gets the grinder

Same. I use a 5" 240volt grinder. But really need a cordless.
Terrible if I forget it and have to use a file! :smile:

Yes, I know they were available as single parts, but they must be near impossible to use?
Must be very hard to turn them without a handle.

grip the wings and turn, is the bar a handle ?

 

[dancinplumba]

will put a pic up of them tomorrow, bet they are 20yrs old

Yes the bar is what you grip and still is hard enough to turn. I think turning them wings would hurt your hand. That tool in my photo must be 30 year old

I use a pipe slice and one of these, I've both 32 or 40 deburrers.

I use a blunt hacksaw and my teeth to deburr

You must have strong wrists. They look too small to get leverage

I got told once I've got a grip like an amorous gorilla.

That was the only complaint she made.

Hacksaw's are for errr hackers. Use the right tool a v.fine toothed crosscut or pullsaw.

I use the black pipe slice looking things - just don't get your fingers in there, the blades rather sharp! Then debur with the above things.

They are quite bulky but I keep them in a box on the van with the fittings of the corresponding size thus taking no room up in my toolbox.

I use my stanley knife to deburr.

I use my trusty Swiss Army knife for the deburring, hacksaw to cut. In the workshop we have Rothenberger waste pipe slices for the students to use. The get used a lot and have held up well. 50+ students using the four we've got and I haven't had to change blades in them in the 6 months we've had 'em.
