How to Use:

1. Open the cutter and position tube between the cutting wheel and rollers
2. Close the cutter around the tube
3. Turn knurled feed knob clockwise to tighten cutting wheel against tube
4. Rotate the cutter around tube whilst gradually tightening the feed knob
5. Continue rotating and tightening until the tube is cut through
6. Use reamer to remove burrs from inside and outside of the cut

Flare Cut-Off Groove Advantage:

The rollers feature special flare cut-off grooves that allow you to cut closer to existing flares, salvaging as much old tubing as possible. This is particularly valuable when working with expensive refrigerant lines or when space is limited and every centimetre of tubing counts.

Maintenance:

• Replace cutting wheel when dull for clean, burr-free cuts
• Keep cutting wheel and rollers clean from debris
• Lubricate the feed screw occasionally with light oil
• Store in dry location to prevent rust and corrosion
• Inspect for wear or damage regularly
• Clean after use to remove metal shavings

Perfect For:

• HVAC/R contractors and installers
• Air conditioning service technicians
• Refrigeration engineers
• Plumbers working with copper pipe
• Automotive technicians
• Workshop and field service operations
• Apprentices and professionals

Why Carbide Steel Cutting Wheels?

Carbide steel cutting wheels are significantly harder and more durable than standard steel wheels. They maintain their sharp edge longer, provide cleaner cuts with less burring, and work effectively on both hard and soft materials including stainless steel and thin wall tubing.

Professional Quality: Mastercool tube cutters are manufactured to professional standards for clean, precise cuts in demanding HVAC/R installation and service environments. Lightweight yet durable construction with carbide steel cutting wheel and flare cut-off groove rollers.
