Cortatubos Rothenberger 070641E – cortatubos manual para tubos de metal/plástico, capacidad de corte 30 mm

The Pipe Cutter Rothenberger 070641E is a manual tube cutter designed for clean, precise cuts on metal and plastic pipes with a cutting capacity up to 30 mm. This compact handheld tool is intended for professionals and DIY users working on plumbing, HVAC and repair tasks. Its design enables controlled circumferential cuts that minimise burrs and the need for additional deburring, making it suitable for on-site installations and maintenance.

Advantages

The tool provides consistent, accurate cuts on a range of pipe materials without relying on power sources. Its compact size improves access in confined spaces and the ergonomic handle offers controlled rotation for uniform cutting pressure. The cutter’s wheel and guide system maintain alignment along the pipe circumference to produce straight edges and reduce material deformation. Lightweight construction supports easy transport and handling for mobile work.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper, brass, aluminum and plastic (PVC, PEX) pipes up to 30 mm diameter
• Plumbing installations and repair work
• HVAC maintenance and small on-site pipe modifications
• DIY projects requiring precise, burr-minimised pipe ends

Key specifications

• Maximum cutting capacity: 30 mm outer diameter
• Manual operation with rotary cutting action
• Suitable for metal and plastic pipe materials
• Compact, handheld form factor for confined-space access
• Wheel-based cutting mechanism with guide for circumferential alignment

How to use

Place the pipe into the cutter so the cutting wheel aligns with the desired cut mark, then tighten the tool to bring the wheel into contact with the pipe surface. Rotate the cutter around the pipe while gradually tightening the adjustment until the pipe is fully cut through. Inspect the cut edge and remove any small burrs with a deburring tool or file if necessary. Follow normal safety practices such as wearing eye protection and securing the pipe to prevent slipping during cutting.

Recommendations

For best results, ensure the cutting wheel is clean and free of nicks; replace the wheel if cuts become uneven. Use steady, even tightening and rotation rather than forcing the tool to avoid deforming softer plastic pipes. Keep the tool dry and store in a toolbox to protect the cutting wheel and guide mechanism.
