RIDGID 258 / 700 258 Cutter with No. 700, 115V | 17881

RIDGID 258 / 700 258 Cutter with No. 700, 115V is designed for accurate, controlled cutting of pipe and tubing in professional installation and maintenance work.

Key features

The RIDGID Model 258 Power Pipe Cutter cuts 21⁄2″ (65 mm) to 8″ (200 mm) schedule 10*/40 steel pipe, galvanised pipe, rigid conduit, etc. at the job site or in the shop.

Powered by the RIDGID No. 700 Power Drive, the 258 is a displacement cutter that provides square cuts. The operator controls the feeding rate by pumping the hydraulic foot pump throughout the operation. A square cut with minimal burr on either 6 m or nipple lengths of pipe is achieved quickly without abrasive dust, sparks, or open flame. Also, the RIDGID Pipe Roller for beveling can be used to rotate the pipe while a second operator uses a grinder to bevel the pipe. Some of the 258 advantages are:

• Square cut 6 m or nipple lengths of pipe without effort.
• Easily cuts by displacing instead of removing pipe material.
• No abrasive dust, dangerous sparks, or open flame.
• Quickly cuts steel pipe with minimal burr.
• Great for cutting pipe for groove joining.
• Heavy-duty design is perfect for field or shop use.
• Adaptable for beveling.
