| Hi everyone. I am replacing a 3" piece of copper drain line in my home. Do
they make a tubing cutter big enough to cut 3" copper? The biggest I have
seen cuts 2 1/8" O.D. Worst case, will a hacksaw suffice if I debur the
piece at the end?
Thanks.
Eric

Hacksaw and emery cloth works for me.
I'm sure 3" tubing cutters exist... and I'm sure they aren't cheap.

Hacksaw will work fine, but just go easy and let the saw do the work. If
you lean in to it, you may put the pipe out of round. Copper is quite
soft...

| Cu is very soft. Go rent a pipe cutter (biggest I have is 8" by Ridgid) if
you start to bang around metal drains there is an excellent chance you'll
cause leaks elsewhere.

| I have cut tons of copper with sawzall and never caused leaks elsewhere.
(that I know of)
I have never even heard of this happening
I use a very fine toothed blade and of course you dont allow it to shake
everything like crazy.
I would not even try to use a hacksaw thats stupid!
You need to do yourself a favor and not listen to those guys, they are not
plumbers, obviously.
doug do yourself a favor and buy a file, you dont debur pipe with emery
cloth.
You guys are full of shit

Maybe if you'd try it once, you wouldn't say that... I've deburred pipe both
ways after cutting with a hacksaw, and found that coarse emery cloth is faster
than a file, and leaves a smoother surface. If a file works better for you,
fine. But don't knock emery cloth until you've tried it a time or two.

| yeah i have actually made that mistake.
I cut my fingers when i used emery.
my file last longer and it is easier to use.
sawzall with fine blade is easy way to cut.
I dont say someone is wrong unless I know they are
from personal experience.
that cutter is not the right tool you fucking tool.
jesus sucks.
