Corta-tubos Cimco 120420

The Cimco 120420 manual pipe cutter is designed for precise cutting of pipes with diameters from 6 mm and above. Constructed in a durable red housing, this hand-operated cutter provides controlled, straight cuts for copper, brass, aluminium and thin-walled steel tubing commonly used in plumbing and HVAC installations. Its compact, manual design makes it suitable for on-site work where portability and straightforward operation are required.

Advantages

The cutter offers a robust metal body and a hardened cutting wheel for consistent performance and long service life. Its ergonomic adjustment mechanism allows accurate alignment and steady pressure during rotation, minimising deformation of thin tubes. The compact size and light weight improve accessibility in confined spaces while the visible measurement scale and clear cutting path support repeatable results.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper, brass and aluminium tubing in plumbing installations
• HVAC and refrigeration pipe preparation
• Electrical conduit trimming and small-diameter metal tubing work
• On-site maintenance and repair tasks where portable tools are needed

Key specifications

• Minimum pipe diameter: 6 mm
• Design: manual pipe cutter with rotating cutting wheel
• Construction: durable metal body with protective red finish
• Application materials: suitable for copper, brass, aluminium and thin-walled steel tubes
• Operation: hand-operated adjustment for progressive cutting pressure

How to use

Place the pipe into the cutter so the cutting wheel aligns with the desired cutting point. Tighten the adjustment mechanism until the cutting wheel makes firm contact with the tube, then rotate the tool around the pipe, gradually tightening after several rotations to increase cutting pressure. Continue rotating and tightening until the pipe is cleanly severed. For best results, ensure the tube is supported and free from burrs after cutting; deburr the inner and outer edges if necessary.

Recommendations

Use the cutter on straight, supported sections of pipe and avoid applying excessive lateral force to prevent wheel damage. Replace the cutting wheel when signs of dulling or chipping appear. Wear suitable eye protection during cutting and deburring operations.
