Pipe cutter Rothenberger 175001 for copper and plastic pipes

Rothenberger pipe cutter 175001 is a compact cutting tool created for making precise, straight cuts in copper and plastic pipes. Designed for plumbing and installation work, this cutter enables clean, burr‑free pipe ends which simplify joining, soldering and fitting operations. Its compact size and straightforward adjustment make it convenient for confined spaces and on-site repairs.

Advantages

The tool provides accurate cutting control and consistent results on compatible pipe materials without deforming the pipe profile. Its construction offers reliable blade alignment and stable clamping, reducing the need for rework. The compact form factor and simple adjustment mechanism allow quick setup and ease of use for both professional plumbers and DIY users. The blade is suited to produce smooth, deburred edges that are ready for further processing.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper water and heating pipes
• Cutting plastic pipes used in plumbing and drainage systems
• On-site repair and renovation tasks in confined spaces
• Preparation of pipe ends for soldering, fitting or joining

Key specifications

• Intended materials: copper and common plastic pipe types
• Compact, handheld design for accessibility in tight areas
• Adjustable clamping to accommodate different pipe diameters within the cutter's range
• Cutting method: rotary cutting wheel with guided support to ensure straight cuts
• Delivers clean, burr‑reduced pipe ends suitable for immediate joining

How to use

Place the cutter around the pipe at the desired cutting point, then tighten the clamping mechanism until the cutting wheel makes light contact with the pipe surface. Rotate the cutter around the pipe while gradually tightening the clamp after each full or half turn to maintain cutting pressure. Continue rotation and incremental tightening until the pipe is cut through. After cutting, inspect the edge and, if necessary, remove any minor burrs with a deburring tool or file to ensure a smooth finish ready for fittings or soldering.

Usage recommendations

Use the cutter only on copper and appropriate plastic pipes and follow safe handling practices. Verify compatibility of pipe material and diameter before use, keep the cutting wheel clean and replace it when worn to maintain cutting quality. Wear eye protection during cutting and perform final deburring where required to ensure proper joints.
