[Fig. 2466] represents a pipe cutter in which a cutting tool is employed, being fed to its cut by the handle which is threaded similar to the handle shown in [Fig. 2464]. The end jaw is operated to suit different diameters of pipe by means of the milled nut shown, which receives a threaded stem on the adjustable jaw.

Pipe Vice.—The ordinary bench vice is sometimes provided with an attachment to enable it to grip pipe at three points, and, therefore, hold it sufficiently firmly without squeezing it oval, but it is preferable to use a proper pipe vice, such as shown in [Fig. 2467], which consists of a base frame bolted to the work bench and receiving a serrated die to grip the pipe. The upper die is carried to a frame pivoted on both sides to the base, and is operated to grip or release the pipes by means of the handled screw shown.
Fig. 2468.
To change the dies one pivot is removed and the upper frame swung open, as in [Fig. 2468].
