you got to try this!

I don't know how you all do when you have to cut conduit, but i've always imnprovise.
Look for a step to place pipe, use my boots, etc.
This tool is great.Very versatile.
I just did a plumbing job under a house, it took me 4 1/2 hours, took this with me, made all the cuts on 1 1/2 pvc from under the house.
Great for cutting IMC,Ridgid etc, with the sawzall. It let you use both hands.
I got two, use some 3/4 emt between them to hold thhn spools.

It was truncuated. Part of the URL was replaced with '.....'.

No Good.......

No Good.......

That was it?
I would have never guess. I was going more technical, i reckon.

 

[Ohmy]

Has anyone used one of these? They look great.

Saw this a few weeks ago at the supply house. I don't think I would need it though, as I use my sawzall to cut conduit most of the time, and occasionally I use my tubing cutter. Seems like a few days ago that I saw this "plate-vise" at one of the big box stores.

. . . and occasionally I use my tubing cutter. . .

Assuming you are using it to cut EMT, doesn't it present a problem with damaging the wire that is pulled into the tubing?

 

[Minuteman]

On those very rare times that I use it, I only score it and snap the conduit. I then use my rat-tail file to carefully deburr the pipe. Yes, it works on rigid too.

 

[charlie]

Cool beans.

I imagine that vise could damage smaller stock.... (as doing it with a bender can) I thought of something like it some time ago... It is neat and would work though.

One more thing to carry and loose.

I saw one at the local big box store. Picked it up and got a metal splinter on the inside of my index finger on my right hand. Took me half a day to find it and get it out. I did not have a good warm feeling about that vice. Ill use my 5 gal bucket with a v cut in it. They are free from the plasterers and splinter free.

I always use my bender for supporting small pipe. Lay the bender on deck, roll it up on the foot pressure part, stick the pipe through the top hole. I now have a piece of pipe at least four inches off of the floor, I apply foot pressure, (or knee pressure) on the pipe to keep it tight, and cut the pipe with whatever saw I happen to be using. Beats a ladder anyday for supporting the pipe!

This looks cool. I'll probably get a pair soon. But I have an easier method for holding pipe when you don't have a step or anything else handy, and you don't need anything but a hacksaw with you to use it

For right handed cutting, step your left leg over the pipe, then pull the pipe up to the back of your knee. Then, moving forward on your left foot, squat down on your right knee to form something like a tripod between your left foot, right knee and right foot, leaving the cut mark to the right of your right thigh, then cut. Obviously, it won't work for really big pipe, but I think it should work for most stuff 1 1/2" or less

Like Rocky said that's what the noch is for in the middle of the bender.

 

[eric9822]

Looks pretty cool.

The old cow just uses a ladder like a man who stands tall opposable thumbs and all that . This looks like a 3rd from the left neanderthal chart thing. A real knuckle dragger if you know what I mean. Geico commercial for the next 6 months.
