TC1 Pneumatic Tubing Cutter

The TC1 hand cutter produces square, clean ends on pneumatic tubing before assembly with push-to-connect fittings. A straight cut helps a tube seat fully against the fitting stop and form a reliable seal around its outside diameter.

Why Tube-End Preparation Matters

A push-to-connect fitting seals against the outside of the tubing. Crooked or damaged cuts can prevent full insertion and increase leakage risk, even when the tubing diameter is correct.

Use a suitable cutter and inspect tubing for ovality, burrs and scratches before inserting it to the fitting stop.

Typical Uses

Pneumatic machine assembly, cylinder and valve air lines, vacuum automation tubing, service work and on-site replacement of tubing sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a square cut important?

It allows the tube to reach the fitting stop uniformly and helps the seal contact a consistent outside diameter.

Can I use ordinary scissors?

Scissors can flatten or deform flexible tubing. A purpose-designed cutter gives more repeatable perpendicular cuts.

Which tubing materials does the TC1 support?

It is intended for common PU, PE and nylon pneumatic tubing. Verify the particular tube size against the tool before use.

Will a clean cut fix a leaking fitting?

Not if the tube is scratched, undersized or incompatible with the seal, or if the fitting is damaged. Inspect all components.

Should the tubing be depressurized before cutting?

Yes. Isolate and depressurize the air or vacuum circuit before cutting or disconnecting tubing.
