I have a few different tools I use, I use a flush cutter from Grainger, hooks on a sawzall, another that works pretty good is something I found at fergusons, it attaches to the drill and has a blade in the front, the only thing is if your cutting verticle, put a rag int he pipe, the chuck loosens up and the bit falls out. Ridgid makes an inside cutter, pretty good from what I hear, but I don't think id does 2."
There are other things out there by Pasco that clean hubs on ABS/PVC, but I have found those to melt the pipe rather then cut out the pipe. Never really worked for me.
if your interested, I will try to find the item number from fergusons and get it over to you.



found a link to the fergusons one, works well, just stuff a rag int he drin if your doing verticle

Ever use one?

Spider, would the ridgid work for cutting shower drains off below grade?

Robert, do you have a link for the cutter from Grainger?

Yes, I use the 109 for copper all the time.

Yes, I use the 109 for copper all the time.

Copper drain lines? Are you using copper for new stuff?

Yes, it is easier to work with than steel pipe and Durham fittings.

Yes, it is easier to work with than steel pipe and Durham fittings.

Break even on the labor vs cut n thread, I suppose.

Copper fits in 2-5/8" steel studwalls better than Durham fittings do.

I made my own, for setting urinals. . .

take a piece of 3/8's all-thread, 2 3/8's taps, and a big flat washer. .

score the edge of the washer with some wire cutters and then place the washer on the all-thread with a nut on each side and tighten' 'em down and stick the other end in a drill.

FOR PVC

I've used the grinder wheel on threaded rod, it worked O.K. but I was looking for a professional quality tool for for increased efficiency and consistent results. I bit the bullet and bought the 2" Wheeler-Rex. Works great. Perfect depth control and factory cuts. I'm ordering the 3" and 4" this week.
