Combining cutting and chamfering in one tool, the new KNIPEX DPT50 pipe cutter has been developed for thick-walled plastic pipes commonly used in wastewater systems and industrial installations.
The company says the DPT50 delivers clean cuts and consistent bevels on PVC, PP and PE pipes with wall thicknesses from 2.5 to 3.5mm and diameters of 32, 40 or 50mm. It features a lightweight but rugged housing made from glass fibre-reinforced plastic and a multi-part blade to trim and bevel in one pass.
The spring-loaded blade maintains consistent pressure so there’s no need for readjustment while self-adjusting guide rollers made with plain bearings keep the pipe securely in place without obscuring the cut line.
