A tubing cutter is a compact, handheld tool typically featuring a circular cutting wheel mounted on a frame with a handle. It has a clamp mechanism that allows it to grip around the tubing securely, and as the handle is turned, the cutting wheel rotates and slices through the pipe or tube. The design often includes a small adjustment knob to accommodate different tube diameters. Overall, it is designed for precision cutting of materials like copper, plastic, or aluminum tubing.
To cut copper tubing against a wall, you can use a pipe cutter designed for tight spaces. Position the cutter around the tubing, ensuring it’s snug, and rotate it to score the copper. Gradually tighten the cutter's knob as you rotate, which will help it cut through the tubing cleanly. If a pipe cutter is unavailable, a hacksaw can also work, though it requires more careful handling to ensure a straight cut.
Glass tubing in the chemistry lab can be cut using a glass cutter or a file. The tubing is scored with the cutter or file, and then snapped along the line where it was scored to get a clean break. It's important to wear safety glasses and gloves when cutting glass tubing to prevent injuries.

To remove a PEX fitting, use a PEX tubing cutter to cut the tubing on both sides of the fitting. Then, use a PEX fitting removal tool to release the fitting from the tubing.
To reduce tubing diameter, you can use a tube expander tool to compress the tubing or a tube cutter to trim the edges. Alternatively, you can insert a smaller diameter tube into the existing tubing or use a reducing fitting designed for this purpose.
Cut the tube with a tubing cutter- remove dipstick and use rubber tubing and hose clamps to reassemble dipstick tube what up.
Use a mini tubing cutter.
Similar to the modern version, but with less tubing and no valves.
To remove PEX fittings effectively, use a PEX tubing cutter to cut the tubing close to the fitting. Then, use a PEX fitting removal tool to release the fitting from the tubing. Be sure to follow manufacturer instructions and wear appropriate safety gear.
Cut the dipstick tube with a tubing cutter below broken dipstick and remove Use rubber tubing and hose clamps to reattach tube pieces
I cut off the rusted out lines with a small tubing cutter and replaced them with regular heater hose and clamped the ends. Copper tubing and hose clamps also work.
Try enquiring with a distributor of polypropylene tubing. look under irrigation surplus there are many different rigid standpipes available that sound like they would do the job.
