This fork cutter works very well and makes good clean cuts with accuracy. It's also easy to use. I cut some 1" chrome / steel pipe with it to shorten some handles that came with a lift table.

Used on Mountain bike fork to cut down to fit. Wow, it worked great. Wish I had it sooner.

I've had some thick pipes rotting in my yard forever because I didn't think I could safely transport them in my truck, they were far too long and heavy -- if they slipped out, it would be very dangerous. Some were double the length of my truck.These pipes are the diameter and thickness of heavy fencing (thicker and heavier than those used in home singsets, more like the industrial materials used in older playground equipment.) As you can see, it actually was a little too thick for this blade (you can see the blades edge actually can't go all the way through the pipe but it still did the job).This did require patience but it works!I would reccomend this for anyone's miscellaneous toolbox. I cannot express how glad I am to get these pipes gone (safely).This tool is like getting your first power drill or bolt cutters, you'll wonder where it's been all your life!

Worked great on an aluminum 1 1/8 steerer tube.If not familiar with tubing cutter like this, 1 rotation direction is usually best, other can lead to small spirals off initial mark, so very lightly tighten up and test which is best direction - usually cutting wheel following pressure wheels, if that makes sense.Then to prevent metal squeeze up increasing diameter slightly, only increase tension very slightly each 2 rotations. I still had slight enough press-out that headset cap could not slide on. De-burrer on tool is not useful for anything of bike size, will need half-round file for inside, flat side for giving an angle on outside.1 star off due to a noise on first use from cutting wheel rotation (not rough edges on stem), not sure what that means to longevity, but I'm not cutting forks often anyway (first time needed), so...

I've used this tube-cutter on three modern MTB suspension forks and some handlebars. Works every time 🤘ðŸ¼ðŸ˜ŽðŸ”¥

heavy duty tube cutter I used on four 1" chrome tube steel which it cut through without problem. Good product, great value.

I cut the aluminum steering tubes on two new forks for my bikes. The cutting wheel was already fairly chewed up after the first, which made cutting #2 a less than ideal proposition. The first cut was reasonably clean; the second required a lot of coaxing and then deburring. The cutting wheel was toast by that time. I wasn’t ultra-aggressive with the cuts, either, having used smaller tubing cutters many times for copper pipe. Thankfully there’s a spare wheel in the handle, but one would expect a bit more longevity from a tool like this.

Extremely useful for trimming down bike parts, which is what I bought it for. Intuitive operation, and locks in place.

I made the mistake of not using this tool to cut the steerer tube of the Surly Midnight Special I am currently building. I cut the steerer tube with a hacksaw and a guide, using the bike stand method (I do not have a table with a vise). This did not give me a straight and clean cut.Since I also have this tube cutter, I decided to do a test cut on the leftover piece of the steerer tube I just cut with the hacksaw. It took me less than 5 minutes to get a clean, straight cut. So, if you are reading this, and you are building your first bike, or just want to cut a steel steerer tube, and, are just trying to decide what to use to cut it, do yourself a favour and get this cutter; I can’t believe all the videos I found on YouTube did not mention that you could use a tube cutter to cut a steel steerer tube.Just get it already.

Package and tool say max diameter 42mm. My tube was 38mm and can't cut because of contact with the back wall of the tool. Going to a physical store.
