The reasons why this is the most common way is mostly in the safety and ease of use a PVC cutter provides. With such a tool you can deliver a clean cut without putting your hands at risk in the jaws of the pipe cutter. What’s more, plastic pipe cutters also don’t leave any jagged edges on the PVC pipe that need to be cleaned after and they are very quiet to use. Have you been out camping lately?

The five core SWA Cable is most commonly used in low-voltage transmissions and uses a three-phase line with one zero line for the power supply. 7 Core SWA Armoured CableElectric miter saws do come with a self-harm risk that’s much greater than that of plastic pipe cutters, cable saws, or even hand saws. Using an electric miter saw requires safety tools, precautions, and experience, as accidents and injuries are far from uncommon with these tools. Cable saws are especially good for the flexibility they offer around tight spaces. If the PVC pipe is already secured in place, can’t be reached adequately with a hand saw, and you don’t want to move it, cable saws can cut almost anywhere and from any angle. This makes them great for plumbing but it’s also why homeowners rarely use them – they are a bit too specialized for regular use. 4. Electric miter saws
