Guillotine Pipe Cutters Robust Guillotine Pipe Cutters are designed to cut PE pipe thicker than SDR17 within 1/8" (3 mm) of square on medium and high-density pipe. HPC12 is designed for DIPS and IPS PE pipe from SDR17 to SDR9.3. Brass bushings in HPC12 crosshead feed assembly yield smooth feed and more consistent blade alignment. The accurate cuts from Reed Guillotine Cutters mean no facing is needed for electrofusion and only minimal facing for butt fusion joints. Durable, non-stick coated blade makes many square cuts with no chips to clog valves and small openings. Slight taper on blade allows an easy start to the cut, and holds form for a nice, straight cut. Blades are easy to sharpen or replace. NOTES: Reed strongly recommends use of the Grounding Accessory with Guillotine Cutters. Use a Grounding Accessory as a precaution against static build-up. Dissipate the charge and minimize the possibility of ignition. HPCs cut PE only and will not cut PVC or PP (polypropylene) pipe, such as Aquatherm. SPECIAL ORDER
