Cutting Pipe Spigot

Purpose: To demonstrate the proper position when cutting off the spigot end of a bell & spigot pipe. Make the cut to leave as much of the spigot end valley as possible on the leading pipe edge.

Method:

  1. Position the sawz-all as shown below. Note that the side of the rib should be used as a guide for the saw. However, be careful to not cut into the rib to minimize pipe separation.


  2. Cut the pipe straight, keeping the blade as close to the rib as possible.

  3. De-bur the pipe edge, the edge should be straight, and the valley should be as wide as possible.
