Orbitalum Portable Pipe Saws

Portable Pipe Saws - FAQ

What is an Orbitalum pipe saw used for?

An Orbitalum pipe saw is designed for accurate, cold cutting of metal pipe on site or in the workshop. As a portable pipe saw, it allows users to achieve clean, square cuts without generating excessive heat, making it suitable for stainless steel and other sensitive materials.

Orbitalum pipe saws are commonly used for installation, maintenance and fabrication work where portability and precision are essential.

What are the key features of the Orbitalum PS pipe saw?

The Orbitalum PS pipe saw is designed for controlled, accurate cutting of metal pipe while remaining easy to transport and operate. The saw cuts by rotating the blade around a stationary pipe, allowing consistent cuts across a range of diameters.

Key features include cold cutting performance, a compact design for on-site use and guided cutting to ensure accuracy. This makes the PS range ideal where space, access and cut quality are critical.

What is the difference between PS pipe saws and GF or RA machines?

PS pipe saws are portable cutting machines designed primarily for on-site pipe cutting. They focus on ease of use, transportability and clean cutting, with limited or light bevelling capability depending on the application.

GF and RA machines are typically more heavy-duty systems used for higher-volume cutting and bevelling, often in workshop environments. While all are used for pipe preparation, the choice depends on whether portability or production capacity is the priority.

What materials can an Orbitalum pipe saw cut?

An Orbitalum pipe saw can be used to cut a range of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel and other common metal pipes. When fitted with the correct blade, it can also be used on softer materials where clean, controlled cutting is required.

Selecting the correct blade ensures optimal performance when using a pipe cutting saw or saw for cutting metal pipe.
