Manual pipe cutter Vorel 48350 — 220 mm length, hand tool for cutting pipes

Vorel 48350 manual pipe cutter — 220 mm length — is a hand-operated tool designed for controlled, precise cutting of metal and plastic pipes. The compact 220 mm steel-bodied design allows access in confined spaces common in plumbing repair, installation and maintenance tasks. The tool features interchangeable dies and a high-carbon steel cutting blade for repeatable results when cutting hoses, tubes and shaped profiles.

Advantages

The cutter’s compact one-piece body and vinyl-sheathed handles provide a secure grip and improved control during manual rotation. Interchangeable dies are locked with a screw, enabling quick changeover between different cutting profiles without additional tools. The combination of a steel body, aluminum-zinc alloy dies and a high-carbon steel blade balances durability with reduced weight for everyday workshop use.

Suitable for

• Cutting metal and plastic pipes in plumbing repair and installation
• Trimming hoses and tubing to length for hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Working in confined spaces where a compact cutter is required
• Cutting angled profiles and flat strips for light fabrication tasks

Key specifications

• Total length: 220 mm
• Body material: steel
• Dies material: aluminum-zinc based alloy
• Cutting blade: high-carbon steel
• Handles: vinyl-sheathed for grip
• Interchangeable dies included: matrices for hoses Ø17, Ø20, Ø27 mm; matrix for 90° plastic angles; flat matrix; flat matrix with angle graduation 45°–120°
• Die attachment: screw-locking system for interchangeable jaws

How to use

Secure the pipe or hose in a stable position, select the appropriate die for the material and profile, and lock it in place with the screw. Position the cutter around the workpiece so the high-carbon steel blade aligns with the intended cut line. Apply steady manual rotation and compressive force using the vinyl-sheathed handles to advance the blade through the material. For angled or flat cuts, use the corresponding die and, where applicable, the angle graduation to set the required cutting angle.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the blade and dies before use and replace any worn components to maintain cutting quality. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when cutting. For best results on plastic pipes, perform slow, steady rotations; for metal pipes, ensure the blade is sharp and take light, controlled passes to avoid deformation. Store the tool dry and clean to prevent corrosion of the steel body and preserve the condition of the dies and blade.
