PVC Pipe Cutter
Design and build of a PVC pipe cutter tool.
I designed this machine to streamline cutting PVC pipe of various diameters. The pipe rests in a V-shaped cradle and is cut using a second-class lever mechanism fitted with a repurposed Bowie-knife blade. I welded the steel frame and cut the steel components using standard metalworking tools.
