<p>A free-standing pipe cutter has a stand formed of three legs (13-15), supporting a split clamping sleeve (10), part of which is secured to a guide sleeve (12) for a rotary cutter assembly (11) rotatable on an annular path, so that a cutter blade (32) engages a pipe (20) clamped by the sleeve, the cutter blade being advanced during such rotation to cut the pipe progressively more deeply, in use, by rotation of a manual operating member (36, 37) relative to the cutter. The legs of the stand are capable of being re-positioned to convert the pipe cutter from right handed operation to left-handed operation or vice versa.</p> |
