The wheel is precision-machined from high-grade steel and engineered for long life and maximum cutting accuracy. The tubing cutter has a contoured frame allowing easy alignment while making a cut adjustment, and a large, ergonomic X-CEL knob that allows a firmer grip so you can cut tubing quickly and easily.This steel tube cutter has a 1/4-inch to 2-5/8-inch cutting capacity. For use with replacement cutter wheel model E-635 29973.RIDGID covers its products with a lifetime warranty against defects in material or workmanship for the life of the tool.Since 1923, RIDGID has remained the symbol of certainty to dedicated professionals of the expert trades. Every tool that bears the RIDGID brand is engineered to the same high standards of quality, strength and endurance, as was that first heavy-duty pipe wrench more than 80 years ago. Set Contains: 1 x Pipe Cutter Only Review: Clean and Square Cuts - I'm using the Ridgid tubing cutter on 409 stainless 2.5 inch exhaust pipe to make offset and shaped sections. This tube cutter is exactly what I was looking for. It makes clean and square cuts that only need minimal dressing with a sander when finished. It was a little challenging for me to cut within the radius of mandrel bends (because the bends I am working with are slightly deformed), but with a little patience during the first few turns of the cutter it finally makes a very accurate cut. You can see from the fit-up of the pieces in the photo that it's good for TIG welding (the bend in the picture has a 3-3/4" CLR). The rollers on the Ridgid cutter will make a pretty good groove when cutting on the interior side of the bend radius (see the attached picture) and it will also slightly burnish the surface on the outer side. If you're in a hurry to make cuts, you'll want to stick to using a band saw or chop saw. Review: Great tool well worth the expense - and yet again another quality tool by Ridgid, you pay alittle more but well worth the expense. I bought this cutter for cutting stainless steel sleeves it cuts them quickly and does not scare the stainless at all, The roller bearings in the cutting wheel and in the rollers make cutting pipe smooth and effortless. I would say it cuts through pipe in half the time of a standard ridgid pipe cutter. ## Features - 12 individual bearings replace traditional rollers, creating a smoother cut and allowing for increased speed around the tube - Contoured frame allows for easy alignment while adjusting the cutter to make a cut - Features a specially designed stainless steel cutter wheel that contains bearings in the hub, decreasing drag around the tube for a smoother cut - Large, ergonomic X-CEL knob allows a firm grip so you can cut tubing quickly and easily - Steel tube cutter has a 1/4-inch to 2-5/8-inch (6 mm to 67 mm) cutting capacity ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003LHACKW | | Best Sellers Rank | #102,299 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #36 in Tubing Cutters | | Brand | RIDGID | | Brand Name | RIDGID | | Color | Stainless Steel | | Colour | Stainless Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 670 Reviews | | Included Components | 1 x 65S Stainless Steel Tube Cutter 6 - 65 mm Capacity 31803 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 12.7L x 22.9W centimeters | | Item Length | 67 Millimeters | | Item Type Name | Tube Cutter | | Item Weight | 500 Grams | | Item weight | 500 Grams | | Manufacturer | Ridgid | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Outside Diameter | 67 Millimeters | | Outside diameter | 67 Millimeters | | Product dimensions | 12.7L x 22.9W centimeters | | UPC | 095691318039 | | Unit Count | 1 Kilograms | ## Product Details - **Brand:** RIDGID - **Colour:** Stainless Steel - **Item weight:** 500 Grams - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **UPC:** 095691318039 ## Images ![RIDGID 31803 65S Stainless Steel Tubing Cutter, 1/4-inch to 2-5/8-inch Tube Cutter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QqP5fTIjL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the part # for the replacement cutter wheel?** A: The replacement cutter wheel is " Ridgid 29973 E635 Stainless Steel Cutter Wheel with bearings." By the way, I assume you know there is a spare cutter wheel in the handle? **Q: can you cut cold rolled steel tubing(1/8" wall) with this?** A: I have not cut 3mm material with this cutter, however I cut 1.6mm stainless steel easily with it. The secret is to lubricate all components well with inox or wd40 and turn frequently only increasing the pressure when you feel the roller has done its job at that tension. If too much pressure is applied and no lube, the tendency is to damage the roller and strain the tool. It is a great tool if used correctly and could do your requirements if this principal is adopted. **Q: Are there other wheels available? Is there only one type of wheel available, can wheels from other cutyers fit?** A: 2 types one for Copper tubes and one for SS tubing. SS one works great for both. **Q: Can this cut a 2” emt conduit?** A: Yes this can cut 2” emt it can cut 2 5/8” copper, made for Stainless Steel tubing. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clean and Square Cuts *by D***J on 4 January 2026* I'm using the Ridgid tubing cutter on 409 stainless 2.5 inch exhaust pipe to make offset and shaped sections.
