Pijpsnijder Rothenberger TUBE CUTTER 35 — snijcapaciteit 35 mm, model 070941E

Rothenberger TUBE CUTTER 35 (model 070941E) is a handheld pipe cutter designed for cutting pipes up to 35 mm diameter. It delivers precise, burr-free cuts for copper, brass, aluminium and plastic tubing when used according to the manufacturer's material guidance. The compact design and ergonomic body suit plumbing, HVAC servicing and repair tasks where quick, repeatable cuts and clean pipe ends are required for reliable joint assembly.

Advantages

The tool provides a compact, single-handed solution for cutting small-diameter pipes with consistent results. A hardened cutting wheel and adjustable feed mechanism ensure accurate scoring and clean separation with minimal deformation of the pipe end. The cutter’s construction is intended for repeated field use, offering stability and control during rotation around the pipe. Its size and weight make it convenient to carry in a toolbox or on a service belt, simplifying on-site interventions.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper, brass and aluminium tubing up to 35 mm diameter
• Trimming plastic pipes and tubing where compatible with the cutting wheel
• Plumbing installation and repair work in confined spaces
• HVAC maintenance and small-scale sheet-metal or installation tasks

Key specifications

• Maximum cutting capacity: 35 mm outer diameter
• Suitable materials: copper, brass, aluminium, selected plastics (follow manufacturer guidance)
• Hardened cutting wheel for clean, burr-free cuts
• Adjustable feed/roller mechanism for controlled cutting pressure
• Compact handheld design for one-handed operation

How to use

Place the pipe in the cutter so the cutting wheel aligns with the intended cut line. Tighten the feed mechanism until the cutting wheel lightly contacts the pipe, then rotate the cutter around the pipe while progressively tightening the feed after several turns. Continue this process until the pipe separates, taking care to avoid over-tightening which can deform the pipe. After cutting, deburr the pipe end as required before fitting or joining.

Recommendations

Use the cutter on clean, supported pipe to maintain accuracy. Replace the cutting wheel when cuts become uneven or require excessive force. For plastics, test compatibility and cut at a moderate feed to avoid melting or chipping; for best results on soft metals, ensure steady rotation and incremental tightening.
