Abstract:

A new cutting device for cutting tubing and piping. The inventive device includes a housing having separable first and second portions. The first and second portions each have an inner face and are pivotally coupled together such that the first and second portions are pivotable with respect to one another between an open position and a closed position. A bore extends between the first and second faces of the housing. The second portion of the housing has a pair of rollers mounted in the interior of the second portion. The rollers are positioned adjacent the bore such that a portion of each of the rollers extends into the bore. The first portion of the housing has a slot extending between the perimeter side wall and the inner face of the first portion of the housing. The slot also has an opening into the bore. A disk shaped cutting blade is disposed in the slot and mounted to the first portion of the housing such that a portion of the cutting blade extends into the bore.
