Continental cut-off machines cut pipe and tube quickly and cleanly using the unique rotary cut-off method. This method and our machines have a number of benefits over other processes:

Because the blade only passes through the tube’s wall thickness, not the entire diameter, cuts are much faster than band saws, cold saws, etc. No chips are created and usually no coolant is required, so your parts and the work area stay clean. No chips, No mess, No hassle! The cut is smooth and clean with minimal burrs, so secondary de-burring operations can often be eliminated.
