For cutting a tube from a heat exchanger or steam condenser nothing beats the Armstrong Internal Tube
Cutter™, Model AA.
Our tool cuts the tube at one end of the condenser, separating the two rolled ends and can
be used to trim excess tube from the tube face sheet.

tube cutting configurations, each designed to meet your specific needs.
Cutting adapters are available in sizes from 5/8″-14 BWG through 1″- 24 BWG. 2″ nominal depth of cut. Special larger and deeper sizes available upon request.
