Abstract

A portable hand held device for cutting pipe or circular tubing rotates or turns by the force generated by a power drill or manually by hand. This portable hand held device for cutting pipe or circular tubing is generally circular in nature with a hinged door that opens allowing pipe or circular tubing to be inserted, and closes encasing the pipe or circular tubing inside. This device includes internal gears and an external housing with gears allowing a unit or part of the unit, including plastic or rubber rollers and a stationary cutting blade, to rotate or turn around the pipe or circular tubing. The plastic or rubber rollers support the pipe or circular tubing as the blade rotates about and cuts the pipe or tube. The rollers and cutting blade are preferably attached to an internal sidewall of the device.
