Picked up a new line here at work. Exact Pipe Cutting System. Exact PipeHave 20 saws coming in this week and 50 blades. Stocking the 170E, 220E and 280E 170E cuts from 0.6" up to 6.7" diameter pipe with a wall thickness up to 0.31" steel and 0.55" plastic 220E cuts from 0.6" up to 8.6" diameter pipe with a wall thickness up to 0.31" steel and 0.55" plastic 280E cuts from 1.6" up to 11" diameter pipe with a wall thickness up to 0.4" steel and 1.5" plastic Nice thing about them is they are a cold cut, no sparks. They say you can get up to 250 cuts per blade when cutting mild steel and blades can be re-sharpened. The 170E should sell for around $1095.00 replacement blades are $89.95 Youtube video of sawsSaws are made in Finland. |

I see the advantage for construction trades using over 3" diameter pipe.
I don't want to sound negative....but why is it $1000? Its a small circular saw with some aluminum extrusions and wheels. A high end circular saw is $300.

Not much I can do about the price, but i know a lot of well drillers like it, the mechanical companies we have shown are interested.
A lot of customers now use a 4 wheel cutter (which are not cheap), and they have a lot of dog tracking with those, this saw will stop that and take them a lot less longer to cut.
It certainly is not a saw for the average home shop, it is more for industry. Besides cutting with a high end circular saw, would u have a perfectly straight cut? Highly doubt it. Quite a few use a chop saw right now, which is fine up to a certain diameter pipe.
Most our customers are cutting 6" diameter and above pipe. I wouldn't buy one if I was cutting small diameter pipe all the time.
I wasn't expecting anyone here to be interested in one, just thought I would show something new.

I didn't mean a circular saw could perform as well, I meant the unit is very similar to a circular saw in construction, with an attached jig that is not expensive to manufacture.
So being that it is not much different than a small cold-chop saw, or a circular saw, which retail for $300ish....the consumer is paying $600 for a couple of extruded aluminum arms and some wheels. Those are cheap to make.
Nothing you can do about the price, that's just my observation. I'm a 'right tool for the job' kinda guy, I looked it over careful and well.
Showing something new invites comparisions!

I look forward to the demo of this unit. I think it could save us hours of shop labour here at work!

It looks awesome for big diameter ABS and stuff. I've watched Black and Mac struggle with large diameter ABS/plastic at work trying to fix coolant drains under the machines. Trying to use jigsaws or recips. lol

We use a Rigid 258 for 6" and larger. It's slow but works well.

i bet those chips burn though lol Nope, not at all. Just took a saw to Big Six's work place since they are interested in the saw, they were impressed that there was no heat at all with the cuttings or with the pieces cut |
