I have that cutter -

I forget how much i paid for it, but i recall, shortly after, i saw another at the boot sale, which had a spare set of discs with it.  I tried to buy the second one for the discs, but was not keen enough financially.  I suspect the secound one was under a tenner, but that was at a boot sale...


Anyhow, its a usefull cutter.  A little unweildy, but i bought it to be able to do 54mm tube, which, assuming the cutter is the same, it will do.

I use the same cutter for 43mm OD steel (3mm wall) which is easy for it - assuming the pipe is clamped in a pipe clamp to keep it from turning.

Non-hydraulic bender for 2"?  You'd need big arms.  I'm not convinced the cheap hydraulic ones are much good either though.

If you can I'd like to see the bloke that pulls the handle.

I argee, I've bent 28mm in a free standing bender and it takes quite some effort.

That's more like it, I thought 2" was a bit big to pull by hand.

just the arm part i could hardly pick it up off the floor a serious contraption, there was a threader tool that large too that had 3 separate like teeth each one that cuts a thread this was at 2 inch, each tool had ridges on which looked like you could move each in or out for different size pipes,  and another set of 3x (maybe different type threads?) the old boy did say hes not sure if he has the formers for other sizes for the bender though?

anyhooes i bought a rothemburger torch and a 15/22mm hand bender
