Quick-Acting Tube Cutter

The Westward 3CYT6 is a hand tool designed for plumbers and HVAC technicians who need fast, repeatable cuts on copper, aluminum and brass tubing. Its quick-acting mechanism reduces the number of turns required to complete a cut compared with traditional screw-feed cutters.

Cutting capacity and length

The cutter handles tubing from 1/4 in. to 2 5/8 in. outside diameter. Overall length is 11 13/32 in., which sets the minimum clearance needed around the workpiece. Grooved rollers with a flare cut-off groove keep the tube aligned during the cut.

Capacity headroom and spare parts

The tool comfortably processes common residential and light-commercial pipe sizes within its stated range; larger diameters fall outside its capacity. A fold-away reamer cleans burrs after cutting, and a spare cutting wheel for copper is included. Replacement wheel 3CYU3 is available separately.

Questions about this item

Which Westward tube cutter model should I choose for the 11 13/32 inch overall length?

The 3CYT6 is the only model listed with that exact overall length, so it is the one to select.

What does the 1/4 to 2 5/8 inch cutting capacity mean when I am on the job?

It means the tool will cleanly cut copper, aluminium or brass tubing with outside diameters anywhere in that range.

How does the quick-acting mechanism limit the speed of each cut?

The large knurled knob advances the steel blade rapidly, so each revolution removes more material and reduces the number of turns needed.
