Description
REED PIPE CUTTERS UAE – HINGED, ROTARY & LOW CLEARANCE SERIES
The REED Pipe Cutter range in UAE is globally recognized for precision, durability, and professional-grade performance in industrial pipe cutting. Designed for contractors, maintenance teams, and oil & gas projects, REED offers three main systems: Hinged Pipe Cutters, Rotary Pipe Cutters, and Low Clearance Rotary Pipe Cutters. Each system is engineered for safe, cold cutting of steel, cast iron, ductile iron, and stainless steel pipes with clean, square cuts and high efficiency even in tight or restricted spaces.
REED HINGED PIPE CUTTERS
Hinged Pipe Cutters: H2½S, H4S, H6S, H8S, H12X, H12XX
REED Hinged Pipe Cutters are designed for fast, safe, and accurate cutting in confined job sites. These cutters operate with a 90°–110° handle swing, making them ideal for tight quarters where full rotation is not possible.
The four-wheel cutting system ensures perfect alignment and square cuts, reducing the need for post-processing. One of the key advantages is spark-free cold cutting, making it safe for environments where flame cutting is not allowed.

Reed Low clearance Rotary pipe cutter RC20, RC24, RC30, RC36, RC42
REED Rotary Pipe Cutters are designed for medium to large diameter pipe cutting with smooth rotational cutting action. These cutters are widely used in industrial maintenance, pipeline construction, and heavy-duty fabrication work.
The rotary system allows controlled tightening after each rotation, producing clean and precise cuts with minimal effort. These cutters are especially effective for ductile iron and steel pipelines.
REED Low Clearance Rotary Pipe Cutters are engineered for tight-access environments where space is extremely limited. These cutters require only about 5 inches of clearance, making them ideal for trenches, plant rooms, underground pipelines, and congested industrial sites.
Despite compact operation space, they maintain high cutting strength and deliver clean, square pipe ends suitable for welding and joining.
