Pipe cutting machine

摘要

A pipe cutting machine includes a frame, a cutting blade mounted on the frame and movable in a predetermined direction for cutting apart a pipe and at least one clamping fitting having clamping jaws for clamping the pipe to be cut by the cutting blade. The clamping fitting is positioned obliquely with respect to the frame and to the direction of movement of a tip on the cutting blade such that clamping gaps defined by clamping jaws of the clamping fitting are angularly displaced from an exit point of the blade tip on the pipe and thereby one of the clamping jaws provides a backing abutment for the pipe disposed adjacent to the exit point of the blade tip so that impingement of the blade tip on the pipe at the exit point will not produce deformation of the pipe.
