FAQs
What is the main advantage of the 2-bearing design?
The 2-bearing design significantly reduces the effort required to rotate the cutter around the oil filter, making the cutting process smoother and less strenuous.
What is the adjustable cutting range of this oil filter cutter?
The cutter can accommodate oil filters with outside diameters ranging from 60mm to 140mm.
What material is the cutting blade made of?
The blade is made from SKH9 tungsten-molybdenum high-speed cutting steel, known for its durability and sharpness.
Can I buy replacement blades for this tool?
Yes, spare blades are available under Laser Part No. 62728.
How do I ensure a clean cut?
Ensure the blade is sharp, the force screw is adequately engaged, and rotate the cutter smoothly and steadily around the filter.
What types of filters is this tool compatible with?
It is designed for standard spin-on oil filters within the specified 60mm to 140mm diameter range. It is not suitable for cartridge-style filters.
Troubleshooting
Cutter is difficult to turn
Ensure the force screw is not over-tightened against the filter. Loosen slightly to allow free rotation. Check that the bearings are clean and free of debris.
Blade is not cutting effectively or is skipping
Verify the blade is sharp. If dull, replace with a new blade (Laser Part No. 62728). Ensure the force screw is engaged sufficiently to press the blade into the filter material.
Cutter does not fit the oil filter
Confirm the oil filter's diameter falls within the 60mm - 140mm adjustable range of the cutter. If the filter is too large or too small, this tool is not compatible.
Rust or corrosion on the tool
Clean the affected area with a light abrasive pad and apply a thin coat of machine oil to protect the surfaces. Ensure the tool is stored in a dry place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate oil filter for cutting.
- Adjust the cutter's arms to grip the oil filter securely within the 60mm - 140mm diameter range.
- Ensure the cutting blade is properly seated and sharp.
- Position the cutter on the filter and tighten the steel force screw to engage the blade.
