cutting PVC, requesting Help!!!!

[Burnit0017]

Greetings, I am trying to cut a 8 inch PVC couple to different lengths to use as a case for a permanent magnet alternator. I am now using a table saw to make the cuts, but the results are not very professional looking. If anyone can recommend a better technique, jig, or method that will produce a better looking result please let me know.

Cutting on a table saw is probably your best bet without a large lathe. A disk grinder is what I use to square up the ends and then debur with a razor blade or better yet a deburing tool.

Greetings, I found a solution for cutting large diameter pipe. I can adjust it for 6 to greater than 8 inch. It will cut PVC and metal. The grinder is fed into the pipe using the small turn buckle. Then the unit is rolled around the pipe to make the cut.

Hi, I completed rebuild of large diameter plastic pipe cutter. The configuration is modeled after a design seen on the web, just like the earlier version. The cutter is stationary and the pipe spins. The stationary cutter configuration allows for a AC powered cut off tool to be used. I am able to mount the pipe and then slide the cutter to the measured cut off position. The new configuration will also help eliminate waste as long as I measure twice and cut once. Enjoy the day.
