WD40 + new cutting wheel, good as new,

Pointless buying new cutters before you've tried that

 

[hammers4spanner]

Done all that

It doesnt help that the copper is getting thinner, as i bought a new slice and because the copper grade is so thin its leaving a dented edge of the copper ( this is a 22 slice bought from tps) think il go back to monument,

kopex/rottenberger are pants, monument are better.

I have kopex and Rothenberger 15 22 28 a set of each and my mate has monument 15 22 28

the monument one do seem better

looking at the 12volt power one from the people that make red power tools

I have one of the 12 volt ones, from a company that make red tools.

I would be too scared to give it away - for fear of reprisals.
I don't dislike anyone that much.

 

[Swift2506]

Is it that bad I thought it would be good for 1st fixing

 

[Subby]

Get the metal centerbrand ones from plumb center. well made, cheaper, and not as bulky as the rothenberger/kopex so you can slice closer to the fitting.

 

[Rybo_1]

Are the 12v ones really worth it?

The milwaukee pipeslice is good if you're doing alot of 28 or pipefitting on a large scale.

although recently one of the guys i qualified with (3 year apprentiship) has never worked on 28.......
you don't get 28mm on combis see...

He must only install 28kw 3mm from gas meter.

Prefer hackzall as cuts upto 108mm ish and no burrs / reduction in dia

I had that the other day when I bought a Novipro cutter from Grahams. I was cleaning it up with a bit of WD-40 on the rollers and it stopped denting too. Might work for you matey.

 

[Swift2506]

That's old skool 108mm copper with hacksaw :smiley2:
rember doing that cause the hack saw was better that the Rothenberger copper cutter we had
thought I was a bad bum doing some 108mm on grey water system antill I went to bss and seen one lenght of 6" copper on the rack

Ive has a couple of slices for the last 8 yrs! Occasional new wheels but does take me a while to cut through a pipe! Plenty of wd40. They tend to leave the pipe dead flat on the end now instead of a tapered edge. Tine fir sone new monuments I think.

I've just bought a set of the nerad ratchet slices from Williams and co, I think £12 a pop.

seem like a good idea, time will tell.

Let us know how your getting on with these, been thinking of getting some. Cheers

I have the Red electric job - it's on its way back 1min 56sec for 15mm - nice cut though!
I purchase a set of the Nerad ratchet ones from the Corgi shop about 6 moths ago, and I have found them to be much better than the Monument/Kopex/Non-descript brands that I have had in the past. The rollers have remained as rollers instead of becoming solid bars, the ratchet action is also a welcome addition too. They get a thumbs up from me.

Arthur.

 

[Nostrum]

I liked the fact they weren't quite round so a better grip and less chance of them rolling off under floor boards!

 

[EPH]

I've had a 10mm Bahco one for years now and still cuts as easily as when it was new, just over one full turn and it's through.

Going to try their 15 and 22 I think after the general quality in most slices taking a nose dive.

 

[Nostrum]

The nerrad one seem o.k, they take abit of getting used to as they aren't as compact as the Kopex type slices and the ratchet could do with being a touch more sensitive as when you first start the cut they spin backwards rather than slip on the ratchet which can be a touch annoying.

Ive not used them much so they may well loosen up.
