Circumferential Cutting – Small Diameter
Details
Ductile Iron is notoriously problematic because it cannot be broken out like cast iron.
The Steve Vick International pipe cutting service can solve this problem with the Rapid Rotary Cutter; developed and manufactured at our UK headquarters.
The unit easily makes circumferential cuts in ductile iron mains without damaging internal pipes and allowing immediate access – cutting a 4” ductile iron main in approximately 4 minutes.
