Abstract: A pipe cutter for cutting pipes of plastic material. The pipe cutter has a clamp (2) for clamping the pipe and the clamp carries a saddle (9) which is rotatable about the clamp. A radially adjustable cutter (16) is mounted on the saddle (9) so that as the saddle (9) is rotated the pipe is cut. The cutter 16 is spring-loaded to accommodate for deflection of the pipe during cutting.
