NOTES:
• Reed Quick Release™ Tubing Cutters will cut a variety of pipe types,
depending on the cutter wheel installed. Refer to the Reed Cutter Wheel
charts for full details.
• Use triangular scraper to remove the burr on the inside of the pipe or tubing.
• For fewer burrs, use more gradual feed.
• For longer cutter wheel life, avoid side pressure on the cutter. And, do not
feed the cutter wheel into the pipe too fast.
