The effect in cutting is to be notedin a partial fusing of the portion of the pipe which is cut, asevidenced by the fact that large fins are produced, althoughthey are readily removable and no harm results of the marked advantages of this type of cutter is that itcuts the conduit straight across without leaving the objection-able burr which results from many forms of pipe cutters. This tool was made up in the shop from materials available,the motor having been removed from a Westinghouse air-com-pressor outfit as used on the subway cars, and was adapted tothe work by the mounting of the cutter disc upon the extensionof the armature shaft.
