<p>A pipe cutting device 10 for cutting through a pipe 40 from an inside of the pipe 5 40 is disclosed. The pipe cutter 10 includes an elongate carrier 12 having a proximal end 14 and an opposed distal end 16. A cutting element 18 is arranged fast with the carrier 12 proximally of the distal end 16 of the carrier 12. A guide member 20 is carried on the carrier 12 intermediate the cutting element 18 and the distal end 16 of the carrier 12 which is positioned adjacent to the 10 cutting element 18. The guide member 16 operates as a depth gauge to control the depth of a cut 52 in the wall 44 of the pipe 40. The guide member also contains the device within the confines of the pipe after the pipe has been cut through so that it cannot fly outward in a dangerous fashion. FIG 3 FOR PUBLICATION</p> |
