Cutting Metal Pipes: Tools And Safety Precautions
To cut metal pipe, select the appropriate tool for the type of cut (hand or power) and pipe material. Don safety gear, secure the pipe, and use cutting fluid for smoother cuts. Use a pipe cutter for clean cuts, a hacksaw for larger pipes, an angle grinder for fast cuts, a jigsaw for intricate cuts, shears for thin pipes, a cold saw for precise cuts, or a band saw for bulk cutting. Always prioritize safety by following proper precautions and wearing protective gear.
