Pipe Cutting

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a long, thin tube or pipe before? Yes? Well, sometimes people need to cut those pipes into smaller pieces so that they can be used for different things.

There are different ways to cut pipes, but one common method is with a machine called a pipe cutter. This machine has a sharp blade that can cut through the pipe when you turn a handle.

To use this machine, you first put the pipe into the cutter and then tighten it up so that it doesn't move. Next, you turn the handle to drive the blade into the pipe and cut through it.

Once you've cut the pipe, you can use the smaller pieces for whatever project you need them for. And that's how you cut pipes!
