Abstract: A down hole pipe cutter is provided to cut a section of pipe from the pipe's interior. The device includes a lower guide plate, an upper guide plate, a connector rod interconnecting the lower guide plate to the upper guide plate, and an eccentrically mounted blade drive assembly. The eccentrically mounted blade drive assembly includes an outer tube and an inner drive shaft that are moveably interconnected to both the lower guide plate and the upper guide plate. The inner drive shaft has a distal end extending through the lower guide plate with a blade attached thereto. The proximal end of the drive shaft extends above the upper guide plate for attachment to a power source, such as a hand drill. The blade drive assembly is rotatable between a first retracted position and a second extended cutting position.
