Hey i bought a pipe cutter off ebay. Most of the ones i have seen have rollers to keep cutter square and a wheel that cuts. This one has 3 cutting wheels but no squaring rollers. What is best way to use these to get a square cut?

Heres a pic

I have never seen that design, it looks awkward for a critical square cut... :think:
Why did you go with that design was it cheaper??? I purchased a Ridgid brand one and there awesome but cost a few hundred bucks. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yep cause it was cheaper..

I would just use it as normal on a piece of scrap and see how it goes. Looks like the 2 cutting wheels on the "head" would hold it square if you go slow and don't rush things.

Once you get the first rotation done it will be fine. Its hard to cut very far off square with these.

Thats an old model ,they use three cutting wheels so ya do not need to fully rotate the cutter around the pipe ta get a cut done ,helpful if the pipe is mounted close to a wall or in an awkward spot,you can get replacement cutting wheels at plumbing or tool suppliers,some are made for steel pipe and some for copper.Or ya could replace two cutters with rollers wich I am not sure if they supply.cheers hillzabilly ;-)

Ok cheers fellas

Put a square line on with a piece of paper and a marker first
That's what I do with mine
