21
⁄2″ to 8″ Diameter Pipe – Patented Performance
The RIDGID Model 258 Power Pipe Cutter cuts 21⁄2″ to 8″ schedule 10*/40
steel pipe, galvanized pipe, rigid conduit etc. at the job site or in the shop.
Powered by the RIDGID No. 700 Power Drive, the 258 is a displacement
cutter that provides square cuts. The operator controls the feeding rate
by pumping the hydraulic foot pump throughout the operation. A square
cut with minimal burr on either 21′ or nipple lengths of pipe is achieved
quickly** without abrasive dust, sparks, or open flame. Also, the RIDGID
Pipe Roller for beveling can be used to rotate the pipe while a second
operator uses a grinder to bevel the pipe. Some of the 258 advantages are:
• Square cut 21′ or nipple lengths of pipe without effort.
• Easily cuts by displacing instead of removing pipe material.
• No abrasive dust, dangerous sparks, or open flame.
• Quickly cuts steel pipe with minimal burr.
• Great for cutting pipe for groove joining.
• Heavy-duty design is perfect for field or shop use.
• Adaptable for beveling.
