Claims10
A method for dimensioning a segment of a cylindrical element comprising:
- positioning a cutting device against an interior diameter of the segment of the cylindrical element;
- activating a motor to rotate the cutting device about an axis to cut the cylindrical element;
- cutting the cylindrical element by way of the motor about the axis;
- and
- securing the cutting apparatus to the cylindrical element,
- wherein upon activation of the motor, the cutting device is guided along a circumferential direction against the interior diameter of the segment,
- wherein the securing includes attaching a first face plate of the cylindrical element to a second face plate of the cutting device using a plurality of clamps.
