A tubing cutter is a specialized tool designed to cut through various types of tubing, such as metal or plastic pipes. It typically features a circular cutting wheel that rotates around the tube, allowing for a clean and precise cut. This tool is commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, and automotive applications. Using a tubing cutter is straightforward. The user places the tool around the tube, tightens the knob to secure it, and then rotates the cutter around the tube. As the wheel cuts into the material, the user continues to tighten the knob until the tube is fully severed, ensuring a smooth edge for easy fitting.
