Will I need to deburr the pipes after cutting?
While the cutter aims for clean cuts, some materials or techniques might leave minor burrs. It is generally recommended to deburr pipes for optimal fitting, though the Rems RAS Cu-INOX often minimizes this need.
How does the cutting wheel stay protected?
The cutting wheel is protected from contact with the counter-pressure rollers by a limiting mechanism on the feed movement, which helps to prolong the life of the cutting wheel.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or rough cut
Ensure the pipe is securely clamped and the cutter is rotated at a consistent speed. Check for debris on the rollers or cutting wheel. Verify the cutting wheel is sharp and properly seated.
Cutter difficult to rotate
Confirm the pipe diameter is within the specified range (3-35 mm). Check that the cutting wheel is not dull or damaged. Ensure the feed screw is not over-tightened.
Cutting wheel not engaging pipe
Adjust the feed screw to bring the cutting wheel into contact with the pipe. Make sure the pipe is properly seated in the rollers.
Cutting wheel breaks
This is rare but can occur with excessive force or incorrect angle. Ensure proper technique and replace the cutting wheel using the ball-lock mechanism.
