ESCRIPTION

The DW Guillotine is designed to perform fast, square cut-
offs of pipes 4”-16” (102-406 mm) in diameter. The 
machine is compact, light-weight, and easy to set up. It uses 
a diamond-studded wire that cuts through all common pipe 
materials.

The following figures illustrate the machine’s features and 
components.

It operates on a standard Type II hydraulic tool circuit (8 
gpm [30 l/min] flow at 1500 psi (103 bar]).
