GOLDEAL Front Fork Cutter Bike Tubing Cutter，1/4"- 1-5/8"(6mm-42mm) with A Spare Cutting Wheel for Cutting Copper/Brass/Aluminum/Stainless Steel/PVC/Plastic Tube.（Sliver）

This fork cutter works very well and makes good clean cuts with accuracy. It's also easy to use. I cut some 1" chrome / steel pipe with it to shorten some handles that came with a lift table.

I made the mistake of not using this tool to cut the steerer tube of the Surly Midnight Special I am currently building. I cut the steerer tube with a hacksaw and a guide, using the bike stand method (I do not have a table with a vise). This did not give me a straight and clean cut. Since I also have this tube cutter, I decided to do a test cut on the leftover piece of the steerer tube I just cut with the hacksaw. It took me less than 5 minutes to get a clean, straight cut. So, if you are reading this, and you are building your first bike, or just want to cut a steel steerer tube, and, are just trying to decide what to use to cut it, do yourself a favour and get this cutter; I can’t believe all the videos I found on YouTube did not mention that you could use a tube cutter to cut a steel steerer tube. Just get it already.

I opted for this way to cut my new suspension fork head tube because it does it straight and cleanly. This tool did it without any real effort applied. Leaves a professional job.

As advertized. Heavy duty, scores the metal til it cuts off. The edges werent burred, but a little sharp but not enough like a knife. Get a deburring tool to pair well with this. Tested on 3/4 emt. (Steel conduit) I wish the end had a hex head so you can tighten in close to surface areas

Just follow the instructions. Start one way finish that way and it will glide thru pipe. Sturdy, great value easy to use
