Can I borrow a PVC cutter that cuts up to at least 1.5 diameter pvc pipe?

My pvc cutter only goes to 1", and I don't want to have to run outside every minute I have to make a cut on all the plumbing =( Plus I don't think anyone in the house will appreciate a miter saw in the living room, hehe.

Does anybody have a pvc cutter I can borrow for a week / weekend?

Thanks!!!
 
I don't think you're going to find any squeeze type cutters for that diameter of pvc.

You might find a big tubing cutter that professional plumbers use. That would be the wheel type. Other options would be hacksaw, or power hacksaw, or some type of circular saw..

Thats what gardeners use to cut/repair irrigation pvc in ground when in a tight spot.

Otherwise known as "wire saw". Inexpensive handy item.
 
I just used a pair of gardening clippers. It's alittle hard to get started, but it cuts like butter once you get going.
 
For 1.5 inches the only think I have found useful is some kind of power saw. Usually I use a jig saw for the portability. Wire saws seem fine on smaller diameter stuff but seem very prone to breaking on the bigger stuff.

Good thing you said you think, huh? :)

1.5" cutters aren't cheap. Professional ones run about $150. My professional 1.25" cutters cost a cool $80, but they are light years ahead of those crappy HD/Osh ones :) I can replace, and have replaced, the cutters on it. Nice feature, and a great way to have super sharp blades all the time.
 
Haha... yup. I don't speak in absolutes unless I know for sure :D

That said... here's one that does 2":

But for that size pipe at work, we use power band saw, or one of these:
