Abstract

A cutting device (10) for cutting a pipe (32) having a pipe wall is disclosed. The cutting device (10) includes an elongate carrier (12) having a tool end (12.1) which is engageable with a power tool and an opposed free end (12.2). The device (10) includes a guide wheel (16) located at the free end (12.2) of the carrier (12) which is loosely mounted thereon for rotation relative thereto, having a bearing surface (34) extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the carrier (12). The device (10) also includes a cutting element (14) having a peripheral cutting edge (36) which is located adjacent to the guide wheel (16) being positioned intermediate the guide wheel 16 and the tool end (12.1). The cutting element (4) is of greater transverse dimension than the guide wheel (16) so that when the bearing surface (34) bears against an internal surface of the pipe (32) the distance between the cutting edge (36) of the cutting element (14) and the bearing surface (34) enables the cutting element (14) to cut through the pipe wall.
