What Is a Pipe Saw?
A pipe saw is a specialized saw designed for cutting pipes. It can handle a wide range of materials, including natural ones like wood, plastic-based materials such as PVC, and metals like aluminum and copper. Unlike general saws, which have different teeth types for cutting wood grains in various directions, pipe saws feature a dense array of fine-grained blades on one side, tailored for pipe cutting.
Uses of Pipe Saws
Pipe saws are primarily used in agriculture for cutting and installing pipes. They are essential for adjusting PVC pipes used in drainage systems and corrugated pipes for underground applications, especially when expanding or modifying a site. The saws are designed to make clean, burr-resistant cuts, facilitating the easy connection of joints and angled units.
Beyond pipes, these saws are versatile for processing various materials. For instance, a metal-cutting pipe saw can be used for cutting poles in plastic greenhouses or for crafting plastic guide fences.
