Now more and more people use pvc pipes, whenever we use pvc pipes for projects usually need to cut the pipes. One of the advantages of PVC is that it can be easily cut with a variety of tools, which makes the job relatively simple. You don't need complicated setups or fancy tools to cut PVC pipe. A variety of different tools can be used to get the job done, including hacksaws, pipe cutters, and miter saws. Here are some tips for cutting PVC:
Regular wood saws have teeth too far apart and will not cut PVC properly.
Cutting PVC pipe with any of the following tools is not recommended:
Table Saw: Never use a table saw to cut PVC pipe. This material is curved. The surface of a table saw is flat and often smooth to allow wood to pass through easily. Pushing a PVC pipe into a table saw can cause it to slip and cause serious injury to the user.
Band saw: A band saw blade moves too slowly and unless you use a fine tooth blade it can cling to the inside diameter of the tube, causing cracks and chips that are a potential hazard.
Warnings
Always wear eye protection when cutting PVC pipe. If the tube is old and brittle, it may crack and fragments may fly out.
