Mercer Industries 730090 Pipe Marking & Cutting Guide 8 5/8"

This is a very useful product. I have used it both for new work and for modifying an existing installation. In new work it is not as necessary, but it allows your work to be laid out perfectly even for those of us who don’t glue or layout PVC pipe every day of our life.To me where this product shines is amazingly n modifying existing work. I had to add an additional drop for to my dust collection system. The cut through the pipes needed to be wide enough to allow me to place a new tee to make a additional drop for a new piece of equipment.With this product my cuts were so accurate and straight that I was able to install the tee without removing any hangars or disturbing any existing connections. The end product looked like it had been a part of the original layout and done at my feet rather than being done above my head standing on a ladder.

I bought this to cut 4 and 6 inch PVC. I ended up having to clamp the guide to the pipe with a draw clamp, but the cuts I made with a hand saw were perfect. If you have to work in a constrained space or have cuts that have to be right the first time consider one of these. I think it was money well spent.

We put this in the back of our ATV, someone stuck a hay bale on it, was bent and deformed badly. Assume that this is something fragile and you'll be fine. Treat it like a farm implement and you'll be disappointed.

This works great on schedule 40 2-3/8 pipe. Speeds up the process of saddles, 90's, 45's and 22-1/2 degree cuts. Much quicker than a pipe wrap. Spring loaded clamp holds it right where you put it.

Worked perfectly. Not weak like some review say. Worth the money. Makes coping much easier.

After a while of use, the pin came out. Put it back in and no problems after that.

Great product...good price!

Actually work pretty damn good was surprised
