Description
The RIDGID 258 and 258XL Power Pipe Cutters are
designed to squarely cut 2
pipe. The cutting action is powered by the RIDGID 700
Power Drive in conjunction with a large diameter cutter
wheel. The cutter wheel is advanced to the pipe via a
pivot arm. The pivot arm advances the cutter wheel by
utilizing a 10-ton hydraulic cylinder and foot pump.
The RIDGID 700 Portable Power Drive is an electro-
motor-driven heavy-duty power drive which provides
power for threading pipe, conduit and rod (bolt stock). In
this case, the 700 Portable Power Drive is used as the
power source to rotate the cutting blade.
