What is the best pipe slice?

[Jerry]

Monument - thin pipe slice to get close to the wall
Rothenberger - Big easy grip

Wouldnt mind an electric pipe slice though..

Dismantle fully, fine wire wool any rust/carp - especially on roller pins, clean off, lubricate lightly , reassemble.
It will work like new - new wheel if not cutting clean.
Come on lads, it’s only one screw.

lubricate lightly - .

what do you use? Just wd-40 or oil?

Usually thin smear of silicone grease as I always have a tube of black swan grease in tool bag.

I find WD-40 is really only for cleaning or displacing water and as a penetrating oil.
More solvent than oil really.
Fine for spraying into the pipe slice to keep it functioning longer.
I personally would recommend 3 in 1 oil to use slight amount on the shafts if you strip the pipe slice down.

The Kopex or Monument (or Rothenberger which is just a rebadged Kopex). They are all pretty much the same. Buy a box of 10 cutting wheels as a blunt wheel is what generally lets you down. Keep them well oiled at all times or they can sometimes spiral

Don't be tempted to buy the plastic ones. Theyre useless after a while

Rothenberger recently have been terrible. I've took two 22mm slicers back due to the spring not lasting a day. I bought 28mm monument last week and there okay. Has anyone tried the blue silverline set on amazon. It comes as set, 15,22 and 28 for £18. I was going to buy as a back up. Anyone got any recommendations for 10 or 8?

Big fan of the Ridgid C15/C22 pipe slice. It cuts both 15mm and 22mm with the same pipe slice, so no need to carry two sizes. It's not cheap, but cuts really well and I wouldn't use anything else now. If you buy one, keep it well lubed with WD40 or it will seize.
