Rothenberger 70029 Tube Cutter

The Rothenberger 70029 tube cutter handles copper, brass, aluminium, thin-walled steel, stainless steel, PE, PP, PVDF and plastic-coated tubes. Cutting capacity runs from 1/4 in. to 1-5/8 in. It suits plumbers and HVAC technicians who need clean, square cuts on site.

Sustained use performance

A steel body and steel blade resist deformation during repeated screw-feed cycles. The knob handle maintains grip when hands are wet or oily, keeping feed pressure consistent across long runs. No play develops in the mechanism that would widen the cut track on hard alloys.

Installation and common issues

Place the tube in the jaws, tighten the knob until the blade contacts the wall, then rotate and advance the screw each turn. The only frequent error is over-tightening on thin-walled stainless or coated pipe, which crushes the section instead of slicing it.

Questions about this item

How much force is needed to keep the 70029 cutting through stainless steel all day without the handle heating up?

The knob handle is plastic and the body is steel; the screw feed advances the blade with each turn so sustained cutting relies on hand torque rather than motor power.

Which pipe materials must I already have on site for the 70029 to cut them?

It cuts copper, brass, aluminium, thin-walled steel, PE, PP, PVDF, plastic-coated tubes and stainless steel, so any of those pipe types will work.

Will the 70029's cutting wheel damage older copper pipe that has work-hardened over time?

The steel blade is designed for copper among other materials; the screw feed lets you control depth per revolution to avoid excessive deformation.
