Disclosed herein is a device for cutting a pipe from the inside by the oxy-arc cutting technique. This device comprises, in combination, guide means for guiding the device proper inside a pipe subjected to cutting, fixing means provided with a plurality of claws adapted to be thrust radially from a cylinder in the direction of the inner wall of the pipe by the action of a piston actuated by the supply of a compressed fluid to the cylinder so as to hold the device immovable in position inside the pipe, and oxy-arc cutting means for cutting the pipe from the inside by the use of a covered hollow stick cutting rod rotated by a rotary shaft pierced through the center of the piston, with the exposed core of the cutting rod held in sliding contact under a fixed force with the inner wall of the pipe.
