Abstract
A pipe cutting tool having: a plurality of rollers; a clamping member moveable between an open position in which a pipe is insertable between the plurality of rollers and a clamping position in which the pipe is secured between the rollers; a cutting apparatus having first, second, and third cutting members configured to optionally sequentially engage the pipe when positioned between the plurality of rollers; a drive motor drivingly connected to at least one of the rollers; and an actuator operatively connected to the drive motor.
Claims15
A cutting tool for a pipe comprising:
- (a) a plurality of rollers comprising a first set of lower rollers configured to support a pipe having a first diameter, a second set of lower rollers configured to support a pipe having a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter and at least one upper roller;
- (b) a clamping member moveable between an open position in which the pipe is insertable between the plurality of rollers and a clamping position in which the pipe is secured between the rollers;
- (c) a cutting apparatus comprising a plurality of cutting members configured to sequentially engage the pipe when positioned between the plurality of rollers;
- (d) a drive motor drivingly connected to at least one of the rollers;
- (e) an actuator operatively connected to the drive motor;
- and,
- (f) a support trough having the first set of lower rollers and the second set of lower rollers.
