Compact tube cutter for copper and steel

The Westward 3CYR9 is an enclosed-feed tube cutter sized for 3/16 in to 1 3/16 in outside diameter. Its aluminium body and steel cutting wheel handle copper, aluminium and steel tubing in plumbing, HVAC and general maintenance tasks. A fold-away reamer and grooved rollers with a flare cut-off groove are built in, and a spare wheel for copper is included.

Hand-operated cutting with low effort

The enclosed feed mechanism advances the wheel smoothly as the tool is rotated around the tube, keeping the cut square without excessive force. Aluminium construction keeps the tool light at 130 mm height and 58 mm width, so it fits in tight service areas. No external power or lubrication is required for normal use on the listed materials.

Replaces open-frame cutters for flare work

The grooved rollers support flared tubing ends that standard cutters can damage, making this model the choice when existing flare fittings must be preserved. Buyers who need capacity beyond 1 3/16 in or who work primarily with large-diameter iron pipe will need a larger cutter. The spare wheel and reamer reduce downtime on jobs that mix copper and steel lines.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Westward 3CYR9 tube cutter on copper pipe, and what step is often missed?

Open the enclosed feed mechanism, position the standard wheel on the pipe, tighten the knob until the wheel contacts the surface, then rotate the tool around the pipe — the step often missed is engaging the grooved rollers with the flare cutoff groove before starting the cut.

What maintenance or replacement will the Westward 3CYR9 tube cutter need over time?

The steel cutting wheel will dull with use on aluminum, copper and steel tubing; a spare cutting wheel for copper is included, and the replacement blade manufacturer number is 3CYR3 when a new wheel is required.

What limit appears first when using the Westward 3CYR9 continuously on maximum-capacity tubing?

The 1 3/16 in maximum cutting capacity defines the largest tube the enclosed feed mechanism can accommodate; sustained use at this limit increases wheel wear and requires more frequent replacement of the 3CYR3 blade.
