The present invention provides a pipe cutter apparatus that includes a housing having a base and lid. The lid is moveable between a storage position and an operative position. A motor is retained within the housing and has a shaft operatively connected thereto and rotated thereby. A cutting wheel extends radially from the shaft and is rotated with the shaft. A pipe conveyor is also retained within the housing, adjacent the cutting wheel. The pipe conveyor may be operated to urge a pipe placed therein into engagement with the cutting wheel. The pipe conveyor is preferably adjustable to receive pipes of various diameters. Notably, when the lid is in the operative position, a work area is provided for cutting a pipe or similar work piece. When the lid is in the storage position, a carrying case is provided such that the pipe cutter apparatus is readily portable. A cleaning brush also extends from the shaft that is rotated by the motor. Various embodiments for the cutting wheel, conveyor, and cleaning brush elements are provided. |
