Hi,

Ditto for that. Cutter is faster than saw and more accurate.

Cutter will do it B4 you plug in the saw, set it up and cut.

True.
But the saw is big enough it can't hide, the cutter has disappeared into the bottom of a toolbox, junkpile, or the neighbor's pocket.

Easy solution. I keep all my PVC irrigation fittings in a 5 gal.
bucket, covered with the lid. My PVC cutters reside there and easily
found when I need them.

Hi,
All my plumbing parts are like wise in one container. Mechanics tool is
in a tool chest. Saws are in another place in garden shed.... I am
adamant to put any thing back to where it was after using it. Becoming
more important habit as getting older, LOL!

I took a job after I retired. Kept a canvas tool bag separate for
electrical, plumbing, etc., in each bag. One glance and I knew which
one to look in for the tool.

Just yesterday she noticed some picks I use and wanted to know all
about them. Harbor Freight: 4 Piece Pick and Hook Set

I'll buy her a set next time I go there. She thinks they are good for
sewing and such...

I haven't read all the posts in this long thread, but I'd be concerned about using a 5 1/2 inch blade to cut 2 inch diameter PVC pipe.

That's because any saw that uses a disk shaped blade will normally have a "collar" of some sort to clamp the blade down with. (I'm not talking about blade stabilizers, I'm just referring to the collar that clamps the blade in place.) Even my Makita 7 1/2 inch circular saw has a 1 1/2 inch diameter collar on one side of the blade.

So, if you're cutting 2 1/2 inch OUTSIDE diameter PVC pipe, you need 2 1/2 inches between the outside diameter of the collar and the outside diameter of the saw blade. And with a 5 1/2 inch blade, I can't see you being able to cut through the pipe without the collar hitting the pipe before you've completed the cut.

So, maybe phone Harbour Freight first and check if there's a specification for the maximum cut depth on that saw before you buy it. You may just be buying yourself a lot of work in returning it for a refund and buying a bigger saw.

lim,

PVC pipe is commonly cut with circular saw using a wood cutting blade.
You want a blade designed for a fine finish

Dear Sir
I want to cut pipe of material polypropylene of different size.
Diameter is near about 58mm & thickness =2mm But in this pipe there is bunch of plastic fiber. When we will cut pipe at the same time this fiber should be cue uniformly.Please suggest suitable circular saw which will cut pipe with fire with fine finish cut. Please send me your E mail so that we will send you the photograph of our productdata:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABMAAAATCAYAAAB yUDbMAAAA7ElEQVR42s2USQuCUBSF/c0VNO+KNq4iqFVpk4FKA2HUogFKK6J1/YfoOUerm88GKCRLJFt8CG/xwT3nIJHjDuAXRIg6gl/8TpZoIKiMdeisTaAmOiSbyLusvzFB2p8fCNsThGkPsgwnP4nuZ Hk5YBmmvXo+s2tl5+lMTKyOoDjUgJNMKI00iDfQH0wjxSAguwq UrWkwc8P+kj3Ffv9YFq0hqE51EB3Cx+D32ky3I3CV8UvTUfIKH rKrrLUwPpKxkuEui1jVs+J7IW43Qn9RQF5Q7VPE3S2r3XVnhYH qfRq4kLTVoFPgwf2CvuUC4EVlZAJfVNwAAAAASUVORK5CYII=

Get the one with a heating torch or the one that is cooler so it
doesn't burn the pipe. Just don't burn the blade.
