Pipe cutter Vorel 78381 — manual single-piece tube cutter for metal and plastic pipes

Manual pipe cutter Vorel 78381 is a single-piece tube cutter designed for cutting metal and plastic pipes with a working range of 3–32 mm. The tool combines a compact hand-operated body with a cutting wheel and rotating pressure rollers to provide controlled, straight cuts on copper, aluminium and plastic pipe sections. A spare blade stored in the handle and an integrated deburrer support efficient on-site or workshop use for plumbing, repair and installation tasks.

Advantages

The cutter offers a simple mechanical design that requires no power source and allows precise adjustment for pipe diameter within the specified range. Two rotating pressure rollers improve pipe guidance and reduce slippage during cutting. The spare blade in the handle enables quick replacement without carrying extra parts, while the built-in deburrer helps finish the cut for a cleaner joint and faster subsequent fitting.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper pipes for plumbing and heating systems
• Preparing aluminium tubing for installations and repairs
• Trimming plastic pipes (PVC, PEX) for water supply and drainage
• On-site maintenance and small workshop projects requiring a compact hand tool

Key specifications

• Material compatibility: copper, aluminium, plastic
• Working diameter range: 3–32 mm
• Guidance: two rotating pressure rollers for improved tube alignment
• Cutting system: single cutting wheel with replaceable blade stored in handle
• Additional function: integrated deburrer for internal/external edge finishing
• Form factor: single-piece, hand-operated tubular cutter

How to use

Place the pipe into the cutter’s opening and tighten the tool until the cutting wheel lightly contacts the pipe surface. Rotate the cutter around the pipe while gradually tightening the adjustment to maintain cutting pressure; repeat rotations until the pipe is severed. After cutting, use the integrated deburrer to remove sharp edges and burrs from the inner and outer pipe edges. Replace the blade from the handle if cutting becomes uneven or the wheel is worn.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select the correct position within the 3–32 mm range and perform steady, even rotations without excessive force. Regularly inspect the cutting wheel and replace the spare blade when signs of wear appear. Use the integrated deburrer to ensure clean pipe ends before joining, soldering or fitting connectors.
