Plastic pipe planing device

A plastic pipe planing device for progressively planing or cutting the end of a plastic pipe, and for reaming out a piece of plastic pipe fixed in a plastic pipe fitting, said planing apparatus comprising

• a rotatable hub,
• elongate drive means having an inner end fixed to said hub, and an outer end adapted to be drivingly connected to a portable electric drill for drivingly rotating said hub,
• circumferentially spaced-apart spider-like cutter arms having inner ends fixed to said hub and extending radially outwardly therefrom, and outer ends terminating slightly radially inwardly of the outer diameter of the plastic pipe to be planed,
• a cutter blade attached to the radial outer end portion of each of said cutter arms and including a lower planing or cutting edge and a radial outer edge perpendicular to said cutting edge, said radial outer edge extending radially outwardly and being flush with the outer diameter of the plastic pipe to be planed, and
• a cylindrical pilot removably carried by and rotatable with said hub, said pilot including an outer circumference dimensioned to provide a snug rotatable fit within the end of the plastic pipe to be planed, and for centering said hub and said cutter arms relative to the plastic pipe, said cylindrical pilot including an upper planar surface engaging said lower cutting edges of said cutter blades.
