Power tool accessories for cutting elongated members

A power tool accessory for cutting elongated members comprising:

• a housing having a rear end portion and a front end portion;
• an input shaft at least partially received in the rear end portion, extending along an axis, and configured to be coupled to a tool holder of a rotary power tool;
• an at least partially threaded shaft received in the housing and rotationally driven by the input shaft;
• a blade holder configured to move axially upon rotation of the at least partially threaded shaft;
• a first spring configured to bias the blade holder away from the front end portion of the housing as the blade holder moves axially toward the front end portion of the housing;
• a cutting blade configured to be retained by the blade holder;
• and
• a workpiece holder coupled to the front end portion of the housing and configured to receive an elongated member,
• wherein, upon rotation of the input shaft in a first direction, the at least partially threaded shaft rotates, causing the blade to move axially at least partially into the workpiece holder to cut the elongated member.
