The rotary cutting process rotates a tube or pipe and cuts it with a rotating blade. Because it is a chipless cutting method, it does not waste any material and reduces or eliminates subsequent deburring and cleaning operations. Although it can be used on any metal, it is not suitable for every application. The cutting action produces a slight chamfer on the end of the workpiece, so it is not useful for applications that require a square end. Machine types include manual and pneumatic. Accessories include cutter block assemblies that support the workpiece during the cut; length gauges for repeatable cut lengths; and feed systems that store and feed the material into the cutting machine.
