What’s the best way to cut PVC pipe?

These are just a few of the things that make the EzyGrind Inside Pipe Cutter worlds better than other options, but you’ll of course understand these benefits more by experiencing it yourself. Feel free to try both kinds of designs and see for yourself. The EzyGrind isn’t even that much more expensive than the generic offerings, and the replacement blades—which are much better quality—cost about the same as the cheap steel replacement blades from the Chinese-made internal pipe cutters .

In other words, this wouldn’t be the best choice for pipes that are loose and have yet to be installed. In that case, reach for a ratchet cutter if the pipe is small enough, or a saw of some kind if it’s bigger.

Ratcheting pipe cutter – best for pipes wider than an inch diameter Even though these inside pipe cutters might be slightly cheaper than the EzyGrind, they don’t last nearly as long and they are just a pain to work with, not to mention dangerous on occasion. Sometimes it’s even hard to remove them from the drill after you’re done because they get so hot you have to wait for them to cool down before you can touch them.

It’s, in my opinion, the best PVC pipe cutter of its kind. Basically, the ratchet cutter essentially works by using pressure and leverage. There is a blade on one side of the ratchet’s “jaws” and you progressively increase the pressure until the blade cuts through your section of pipe. Because of the ratcheting mechanism, it actually doesn’t take a lot of strength to do this and just about anyone can use this tool . (Though it can make your hand cramp up if you’re cutting a lot of pipe over and over.) It saves energy and is easier to use compared to the “scissor” style PVC cutters that have no ratcheting mechanism. A few of the major benefits of using this pipe cutter include:
