Abstract
A longitudinal pipe cutting tool includes a holder having a cutting wheel rotatable in a cutting plane along a longitudinal direction of a work piece. The longitudinal pipe cutting tool also including an actuator configured to move at least one of the holder or the work piece toward each other or away from each other, and a body coupled with the actuator. The body also slideable coupled with the holder such that the holder extends away from the body transverse to the longitudinal direction of the work piece and the cutting plane.
Claims20
A longitudinal pipe cutting tool comprising:
- a main body having a first arm, a second arm and a rail extending transversely between the first arm and the second arm such that the first arm and the second arm are aligned and extend away from the rail in a same direction at opposite ends of the rail;
- a holder movably mounted on the rail to move along the rail between the first arm and the second arm;
- and
- a plurality of blades mounted in the holder on respective pins coupled with the holder, the blades rotatable around an axis of the respective pins, the axis in a direction perpendicular to the direction the first arm and the second arm extend away from the rail.
A longitudinal pipe cutting tool comprising:
- a holder comprising a cutting wheel rotatable in a cutting plane along a longitudinal direction of a work piece;
- an actuator configured to move at least one of the holder or the work piece toward each other or away from each other;
- and
- a body coupled with the actuator, and slideable coupled with the holder such that the holder extends away from the body transverse to the longitudinal direction of the work piece and the cutting plane, wherein the holder is a first holder coupled with a first arm of the body at a first end of the body, and the longitudinal pipe cutting tool comprises a second holder coupled with a second arm of the body at a second end of the body, where the first end of the body and the second end of the body are opposite ends of the body.
(canceled)
A longitudinal pipe cutting tool comprising:
- a first cutting wheel rotatably disposed in a first holder to rotate around a first pin;
- a second cutting wheel rotatably disposed in a second holder to rotate around a second pin;
- and
- a body comprising a rail, a first member and a second member, the first holder and the second holder coupled with the rail and disposed between the first member and the second member such that the first holder and the second holder extend towards each other;
- the first holder slidable on the rail between the first member and the second member to contiguously contact a work piece with the first cutting wheel and the second cutting wheel, the work piece having a length and a width, the length longitudinally extending perpendicular to the first pin and the second pin such that the first and second cutting wheels are rotatable along the length of the work piece.
