I borrowed one from our plumber to cut a broken septic tank cleanout pipe that was broken below ground level. It was a small diameter saw and I was afraid I was going to lose that arbor and saw into the poo and pee abyss. I chucked that thing up with a slip joint pliers to insure that it wouldn't come off. It took a lot of time to go around that 6 inch pipe. Next time I am going to do this with a 5 1/4" saw blade and your bolt idea. Thanks! Your setup resembles an intake or exhaust valve on a car. That might work also.
This worked for me...but.. trashed my drill cutting through a thick 4" PVC drain pipe in my yard. Bearings failed. Probably good for smaller applications.. would probably try a router next time which I'd think could bear more "sideways" stress.
20 yr plumber here. The one you bought will cut up to 4 inch pipe. Any bigger and the pipe wall is to thick. I use one everyday. It not suppose to fit the pipe. That would be useless once it penetrates the wall of the pipe.
That cutter is not made specifically for 1-1/4 inch pipe. It is for 1-1/4 inch and larger pipe, obviously nothing smaller because it wont fit inside a smaller pipe. I use mine all the time to cut off toilet flanges on 3 inch pipe and it works pretty good.
If the pipe was sticking out of a concrete surface and you wanted to cut beneath the surface, you'd have to remove some of the concrete to use a hacksaw or angle grinder.
I like your homemade cutter that can cut two-three layers of thick pipes.

I might add the one you made has good potential, a little thinner will cut much better. well done none the less.
Pretty neat. Sure could be a time-saver in the right situation.
I made an internal cutter from a bolt,nut and a beer bottle lid as it's already serrated.
This is so cool!
Thinner metal w/o teeth will also work. Some ideas mentioned are pretty good too, thanks!
Hey that works . Good deal !!
ShawnMrFixit Lee Not too bad, I should have made the blade thinner gauge metal.
You can always grind it down thinner !!
Great idea 💡 Thank you.
Cool! I bet you could use engine valves.
can we cut the stems if trees using this cutter
if we want to cut pipeline 250fit depth in boring pipe than how we make shaft this much long

Too small diameter to cut toilet flange abs
try cutting with a wound wire guitar string....Use one of the larger ones, even a bass string....works well
Cotton string even works. Old plumber's trick.
Try a cut wheel it's thinner ?
all you need is to add a depth guide to the shaft. ;-)
why wouldn't you just use a hacksaw or an angle grinder ?

From inside the pipe? o_O
You missed an "O" in description.
"Descriptin"
