At about 1/3 the price and includes a reamer - - -


As long as the cutting wheel tracks straight... I don't know how you can
screw up a tubing cutter but the Chinese that handcraft stuff for HF
manage to.

I bought one at a farm supply store years ago for some really odd
project. It walked down the pipe instead of making a straight cut. It's in
an iron pile somewhere. The pipe I want to cut is attached to floor
joists.
There should be room to work at least on this project.
