Cutting Copper Pipe
A pipe cutter makes cutting copper pipe easy. Simply hand tighten the pipe cutter onto the mark where you want to cut the pipe. Rotate the cutter around the pipe a couple of times to create a groove all around the pipe, and then each time you rotate the cutter, tighten the blade a little. Each rotation will cut a little deeper into the pipe and the cut will be straight. Don't tighten too much or you can bend the pipe out of round.
