HOLE CUTTER SYSTEM

Invented by Wheeler-RexThe Wheeler-Rex Hole Cutter System is designed to easily cut holes from 4" - 12" (100-300mm) into clay tile, ductile and cast iron, plastic and reinforced concrete pipes. The unit is available with a variety of power sources including 2-cycle gasoline engine, pneumatic motor, electric motor and hydraulic motor.

The system is modular in design which allows a single operator to set up and perform non-pressure taps safely and quickly. The basic system can be used on pipes from 6"-20" (150-500mm) O.D. and the capacity can be extended by simply adding chain to the hold down mechanism. Set up normally takes 5-10 minutes and actual cutting time is 5-10 minutes depending on pipe material and wall thickness.
