Abstract
A pipe cut off saw comprising a pipe cradle and a cutting means pivotally secured adjacent said pipe cradle such that the pivot point is aligned with the center line of the pipe so that the cutting means may be rotated about the pipe to cut off the end of the pipe. The pipe cradle has elevating apparatus to change the angle of the center line relative to the pivot point of the saw to permit miter cuts on the pipe.
Claims8
In a pipe cutting device:
- a base;
- spaced pipe supports mounted on the base;
- means to adjust the height of one of the supports to tilt a pipe carried in the supports;
- a saw;
- means for supporting the saw in a position to engage and cut a pipe disposed on the supports;
- means to move the saw in an arcuate plane about a pipe disposed on the support;
- and means to adjust the height of the saw support comprising means slidably mounting the support relative to the base;
- a threaded shaft having an upper end secured to the support;
- a sleeve attached to the base with the lower end of the shaft extending into the sleeve;
- and a collar threadedly engaged with the shaft resting on the upper end of the sleeve whereby when the collar is rotated the shaft is caused to move into and out of the sleeve to adjust the height of the support.

A pipe cutting apparatus comprising:
- first and second pipe holding members;
- a base;
- means to rigidly secure the first pipe holding member to the base;
- means to secure the second pipe holding member to said base in horizontally spaced relationship to the first pipe holding member;
- means to adjust the heighth of the second pipe holding member relative to the base;
- cutter support means comprising upwardly extending legs secured to the base;
- a plate;
- downwardly extending legs secured to said plate in spaced relation, said downwardly extending legs being telescopically disposed over the said upwardly extending legs;
- means to telescopically adjust the legs to adjust the height of said plate relative to the base;
- means to secure said cutter support means to said base in spaced horizontal relationship to said pipe holding members;
- a shaft;
- means for rotatably securing said shaft to said cutter support means;
- a crank arm secured to one end of said shaft;
- upwardly extending support means rigidly secured to the other end of said shaft;
- a saw support bracket;
- means to secure said saw support bracket to said upwardly extending support member;
- and a saw rotatably secured to said saw support bracket such that rotation of said crank arm moves the saw support bracket and the saw carried thereby about the outer circumference of a pipe supported in said pipe holding members to cut said pipe.
