How to Cut Exhaust Pipe

Cutting exhaust pipe is an important part of removing and installing an exhaust system on your vehicle. Power saws can cut exhaust tubing quickly, but they throw hot metal chips flying in the air while you are cutting. This can cause injury to your eyes and burn your skin. Chain pipe cutters use a chain with cutting wheels to cut through the thin wall of the exhaust tubing and create a burr-free square cut without throwing hot metal shavings around.

Instructions

1

Place the pipe wrap around the exhaust tubing and wrap it around the pipe. Make sure that the sides of the pipe wrap are even so the pipe wrap is square on the exhaust pipe.

2

Run the permanent marker along the edge of the pipe wrap to create a erence line for the cut you need to make around the exhaust pipe.

3

Remove the pipe wrap from the exhaust pipe and slide the chain of the chain exhaust pipe cutter around the exhaust pipe.

4

Pull the chain of the chain exhaust pipe cutter tightly to the exhaust pipe and hook the chain into the holding hook attached to the handle of the chain exhaust pipe cutter.

5

Apply cutting fluid to the cutting wheels of the chain exhaust pipe cutter and push the handle of the chain exhaust pipe cutter around the exhaust pipe.

6

Tighten the chain of the chain exhaust pipe cutter to apply additional pressure to the exhaust pipe and repeat step 6. Repeat the process until you cut through the exhaust pipe.

7

Wipe the surface of the cut exhaust pipe with a clean rag to remove excess cutting fluid from the exhaust pipe to complete the cutting process.
