[Fig. 2465] represents a pipe cutter in which are a pair of anti-friction rollers and a severing tool bevelled on one edge only so as to leave the end of the pipe face cut square, and the piece cut off bevelled on its face; or by turning the cutter round the reverse will be the case, the piece cut off being flat on its end.
The action of this cutter is, as in the case of the wheel cutter, simply that of a wedge, hence no cuttings are formed.
