Preparation

1. Tools and materials

Before you start, make sure you have the following tools and materials:

  • PVC fitting reamer
  • PVC pipe or fitting
  • Ruler
  • Marking pen
  • Protective glasses
  • Gloves

2. Safety measures

When using a reamer, safety is the primary consideration. Wear protective glasses and gloves to protect your eyes and hands from damage caused by debris during cutting.

Measuring and marking

1. Measuring length

Use a ruler to accurately measure the length of the PVC pipe or fitting you need to cut. Make sure the measurement is precise, as incorrect measurements can lead to material waste or poor connections.

2. Marking the cutting line

Use a marker pen to clearly mark the cutting line on the PVC material. It is recommended to use a ruler to help you draw a straight line to ensure the neatness of the cut.

 

Preparation for cutting

1. Fixing the material

Before cutting, make sure the PVC pipe or fitting is firmly fixed on the workbench. You can use a clamp or vise to fix it to prevent it from moving during cutting.

2. Adjusting the reamer

Adjust the cutting depth of the reamer according to the thickness of the PVC material being cut. Make sure the blade of the reamer is sharp for smooth cutting.

Cutting process

1. Start cutting

Align the reamer with the marked cutting line, apply pressure evenly, and start cutting. When cutting, keep the reamer perpendicular to the pipe to ensure a smooth cut.

2. Control speed

During the cutting process, control the cutting speed. Too fast a speed may cause uneven cutting or damage to the tool, while too slow a speed may increase the cutting time.

3. Check the cutting situation

You can pause to check the progress of the cutting halfway to ensure that the cut is as expected. If you find a problem, you can adjust the cutting angle or depth in time.

 

Post-cutting processing

1. Clean the cut

After the cutting is completed, check whether the cut is smooth. If there are burrs or uneven areas, you can use sandpaper or a scraper to polish it to ensure that the cut is smooth for subsequent connection.

2. Clean the work area

Clean up the debris and residues generated during the cutting process, keep the work area clean and tidy, and avoid safety hazards.

Maintenance and care

1. Clean the reamer

After use, clean the reamer in time to remove the attached PVC residue to avoid affecting the effect of the next use.

2. Check the blade

Regularly check the blade of the reamer to see if it is sharp and replace it if necessary. Keeping the blade sharp can improve cutting efficiency and reduce work difficulty.

3. Safe storage

After use, store the reamer properly in a dry and cool place to avoid rust or blade damage caused by a humid environment.
