FAQs

What is the maximum diameter of tubing this cutter can handle?

The Irwin Record 200-30C can cut tubing with an outer diameter ranging from 3mm (1/8 inch) up to 30mm (1.1/8 inch).

Can this tube cutter be used on plastic pipes?

This specific model is designed for metal tubing such as copper, brass, aluminum, and thin-walled steel. It is not recommended for use on plastic pipes.

Where can I find the spare cutter wheel?

A spare cutter wheel is conveniently stored within the handle of the tube cutter.

How do I replace the cutting wheel?

To replace the wheel, loosen and remove the screw holding the current wheel. Slide off the old wheel, replace it with a new one, and re-tighten the screw. Ensure the new wheel is seated correctly.

Is the de-burring tool removable?

No, the de-burring tool is integrated into the body of the cutter and folds away for storage. It is not designed to be removed.

How often should I lubricate the cutter?

Lubrication of the adjusting screw and wheel spindle is recommended periodically, especially if you notice stiffness. Wipe off excess lubricant before use.

Troubleshooting

Cutter is not cutting cleanly or is making a scraping sound.

Ensure the cutting wheel is sharp and free of debris. Check that the adjustment knob is tightened sufficiently and incrementally. Verify the tube is properly seated between the rollers.

The cutter wheel seems to be slipping or not engaging the tube.

Check that the adjustment knob is threaded correctly and that the rollers are clean and allowing free movement of the tube. Ensure the tube is within the specified diameter range (3-30mm).

The de-burrer is difficult to extend or retract.

Clean any debris from the de-burrer slot. Apply a small amount of light lubricant to the de-burrer's pivot point.

The cutter is leaving a significant burr on the inside or outside of the tube.

Ensure the cutting wheel is positioned correctly and that the incremental tightening process is followed. Use the integrated de-burrer after the cut to clean the edges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides clean and accurate cuts.
  • Durable and lightweight die-cast construction.
  • Integrated de-burrer adds convenience.
  • Spare cutter wheel is easily accessible.
  • Versatile for various non-ferrous and thin-walled materials.

Cons

  • Specific cutting capacity (3-30mm) limits its use with larger diameter pipes.
  • May require practice for perfect burr-free cuts on the first attempt.
  • Not designed for thick-walled or hardened steel pipes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust Cutting Depth: Place the tube within the cutter's rollers. Rotate the adjustment knob to bring the cutting wheel into contact with the tube.
  2. Initial Cut: Tighten the knob slightly to ensure the wheel just touches the surface. Rotate the cutter around the tube once.
  3. Incremental Tightening: Rotate the knob a quarter turn and rotate the cutter around the tube again. Repeat this process, gradually tightening the knob and rotating the cutter, until the tube is severed.

Compatibility:

  • Materials: Copper, Brass, Aluminum, Thin-walled Steel.
  • Size: Tubes with outer diameters from 3mm (1/8 inch) to 30mm (1.1/8 inch).

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, wipe the rollers and cutting wheel clean of any debris with a dry cloth. A slightly damp cloth can be used for stubborn dirt, but ensure the tool is dried thoroughly afterwards.
  • Storage: Store the tube cutter in a dry place. Ensure the de-burring tool is folded back into the body to prevent damage or injury.
  • Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light oil to the adjusting screw and wheel spindle to ensure smooth operation. Clean off excess oil before use.
