tube cutter

Cylindrical material divider

A tube cutter is a hand tool for cutting pipes and tubes cleanly.

It typically has a sharp cutting wheel that rotates around the tube as the tool is tightened, scoring deeper with each pass until it cuts through: Use a tube cutter for copper pipe—a hacksaw leaves rough edges.

Tube cutters produce cleaner, squarer cuts than saws.
