CUTTING AND GROOVING STEEL PIPE
NOTE: The VG412 tool is only recommended for use on steel lined pipe.
1. Instructions are similar to cutting Cast Iron and Ductile Iron Pipe except: Two cutter heads operating
simultaneously and using the specified two tool steel cutoff blades, are required for cutting carbon
steel pipe. Each of these opposing angle type cutoff blades are intended to cut a little more than half
the full cut width in order to produce two “half “ chips. Figure 38
2. Be sure blade set screws are tight so blades don’t slip while under pressure.
3. With the tool securely clamped on the pipe, rotate the gear plate by hand manually advancing one
cutoff blade until it is lightly touching the “high spot” on the pipe.
4. Now rotate the gear plate 1/2 turn and advance the other cutoff blade until it is lightly touching the
same “high spot” on the pipe.
5. Proceed to cut under power applying a good grade of sulphurized or water soluble cutting oil on the
cut. Apply with brush or spray bottle, do not flood. A finished cut on 12" sch 40 steel pipe should
take 5 to 6 minutes. The cut should look like this:
