Improper placement of the pipe in the tool is another cause that will cause the cutter to run away from the desired spot of the cut. Worn or bent axle of the cut wheel is another. A properly used pipe cutter will NOT deform the pipe or score an area of the pipe other than the cut nor leave burrs on the outer aspect of the cut. | |
