  • Patent number: 4455746
    Abstract: The cutter blade and mandrel of a tube cutter coact through sloped surfaces having a tongue-and-groove connection. Relative axial movement between the mandrel and cutter blade causes the cutter blade to move radially inward or outward and the tongue-and-groove connection permits the mandrel and cutter blade to rotate as a unit to thereby increase the effective cutter height of the blade by the height of the underlying mandrel.
