Pipe–cut′ter.
A tool for cutting off gas or water pipes.
It has a hook which passes beneath the pipe and forms a rest while the cutting chisel or disk is driven down the pipe, around which the implement is then revolved.
In
Fig. 3735, a sharpened disk within a block is fastened to the end of the screw-rod, and the pipe, being clamped between the disk and the hook, is cut by turning the instrument around the pipe.

In
Fig. 3736, the tube and its bushing are made to encircle the pipe, and the cutter is forced into the side of the pipe by turning the screw.
The pipe is then severed by turning the instrument around upon it.
