The cutting of tubulars is a straightforward operation which happens to have an extraordinary requirement for precision; and modern tube and pipe cutters ensure that precision to an extraordinary degree. Suppliers of state-of-the-art cutting machinery offer a wide array of fully automated equipment entirely in the service of making clean, accurate cuts – every time. Featuring integrated logistics, the units will handle round, elliptical or conical tubing.

They will accommodate a variety of materials in a broad range of diameters. They will operate without interruption at high speeds, producing negligible trim waste. In the matter of cutting a tube, a miss is as good as a mile. The small-town plumber at a basement workbench knows that. The big customer in the building trades knows it, too. The supplier of cutting equipment to the tube and pipe industry never forgets it for a minute.
