Re: pipe slice

I've had the same kopex pipeslice for 21 years. It's had 17 new wheels and 8 new handles!:winkiss:​

ive got a pair of rothenberge slices for about year and abit and always had problems with the slices keep slipping ... help.. need a better make or is there spares i can get for it ?

 

[dontknowitall]

I use new ones on dry/new pipework only and older ones when cutting through wet pipes. I reckon the water attacks them. My 10mm is going really well and I think it's because I use it for oil as well which protects the metal to a certain extent. On the other hand it could be because it's orange.

I have had years of trouble with slices, especially 22mm. A couple of months back I changed the wheel with a bigger one which was one the handle of my adjustable cutter. The first cut or two, I could hardly turn it, it was so tight. It quickly loosened though and now it eats through the copper.

I've used all of them about, Lenox Irwin Bacho rottenburger monument Graham's own brand ......
Lenox - fine till wheel needs replacing then they never work properly again. 6 or 7 pairs!

Irwin same as Lenox and Graham's

Rottenburger team line from day dot


Monument good but springs stick after a while .


Soak them in wD of cutting oil.

If you're interested in the Bahco ones, the cheaper Forge Steel ones from screwfix are the actual same pipeslice.

 

[galaxy_plumbing]

got bahco replacement for cheaper ones i have but 22mm not cutting at all, 15mm is going through pipe like a hot knife through butter, using old slicer for 22mm pipes

I found the bahco ones spun easy because they werent so wide , i LIKED monument until mine went kaput under a year, but my last one lasted years,,, rothenberger, kopex ok, but ive gotta say i think alot of the muckups is due to the copper becoming thinner walled and not so resilient to the wheels,
