The RIDGID® Model 258 Power Pipe Cutter is a heavy-duty, hydraulic-assisted pipe-cutting machine designed for fast, square cutting of 2½" to 8" (65–200 mm) steel pipe.
It uses a large-diameter cutter wheel and a displacement-cutting method, meaning the cutter displaces the pipe material rather than grinding or removing it.
This produces a square cut with minimal burr and eliminates abrasive dust, sparks and open flame.
Key Features
• Square cuts: Produces accurate square cuts suitable for pipe preparation and grooved-pipe joining.
• Displacement cutting: Cuts by displacing pipe material rather than removing it.
• Minimal burr: Produces relatively clean cuts with minimal burr.
• No sparks or abrasive dust: Unlike abrasive cutting methods, the process does not generate abrasive dust or dangerous sparks.
• Hydraulic feed control: The foot-operated hydraulic pump allows the operator to control the cutter-wheel feed rate.
• Heavy-duty construction: Designed for demanding field and workshop pipe-cutting applications.
• Long pipe capability: Can cut 21-ft (6-m) pipe lengths as well as shorter nipple lengths.
• Beveling capability: Can be used with the appropriate pipe roller accessory for beveling operations.
