Will this cut EMT? I replace a ton of breaker panels and most times have to pipe cut EMT to save wires

I do not know what " EMT " is. This is a good cutter for copper tube. It takes a little practice to learn correct use. If I had this question I would call Milwaukee customer support. They are nice and very good on product use.

I have never used this tool to cut EMT pipe,you probably can do it since it's not a thick pipe.You would be better off the buy the 12 volt band saw.I have used my band saw to cut unistrut and EMT pipe.

the wire can be cut, my son cut mine so I had extra wire in case I wanted to use it somewhere else

i wouldn't wire a home with them, i could, but really, the wire cutting edge has worked great for bailing wire and such, i also use them to remove the product protection devices on retail items at work

It depends on what you are connecting to that breaker as to the load it will pull. Check your instructions for the item that you are going to connect to the breaker as to what wire is required for the load it will pull.

no dont cut it. just keep wrapping it. needs it for the induction of the tach signal.

Yes, and no...it is designed to help you follow wires as they travel behind drywall... it MAY be of use in your situation, but as always, safety first, turn off circuit breakers for that whole section, before you start poking around the wiring... might just be a loose wire on back of socket, or a busted socket itself. This device can help you trace wires, and make sure "RED" over here is the same red over there, etc...make sense? If in doubt, and you are not familiar with getting 'bit' by 110 volts from accidentally touching the wrong wire (s), I would recommend you just hire an electrician, and stand back, so if anything happens, they get bit, not you... your mileage may vary. I used mine for tracing phone wires, and network connections, never for power, but the theory is the same, disconnect anything that COULD power the wire you want to trace, and see if you find any breaks where it shouldn't be (like from mice or nails breaking your power cables) it will help reduce the number and size of holes you have to break into the drywall, that is for sure... good luck, be safe, and if ever in doubt, just call a licensed electrician...

I have stripped 12 gauge wire without a problem. The tool grips, cuts and strips fluidly. I don't normally have a need to strip 10 gauge, but, in response to your question, I just tried it on 7-strand 10 gauge wire. Because of the diameter of the multi-strand wire, it would cut the insulation but would not strip it off the wire.

You shouldn't have a problem cutting the the pipe. I use mine to cut a 2" load bar on a 8000 Thousand pound fork lift without a problem. Hope this helps

Yes, it will cut pvc pipe, but it won't be a particularly straight cut. Also bear in mind you only have a few inches to the left of the blade to work with.

It could cut through them. I guess you would want to use a "wood" blade. How thick they are and how much effort it has to take to cut them will determine how long you can run it. I use it for PVC pipes to give you a reference point (if that helps)

Yes. Make sure you don't overload this unit, like with a shop vac, etc or the circuit breaker will trip. Great unit.

I have the same question because I have a tool that works just fine with cat 5 cables, but with cat 6 STP I need something that will handle the thicker jacket. If I force the cable into the recess to strip off the outside, a traditional cutter will cut through the wires. Since the tool should be for both cutting, stripping the jacket and crimping, one that can squeeze the connector alone doesn't make it the right tool.

I would say probably not. It is pretty thick metal. Not sure what tool you would need to cut this. Plus the edges are folded under behind each unit. You would ruin the edging.

No it wont. If you need something for the job you're looking for I suggest you buy the Chicago flux wire welder. It's not expensive and good enough to do any piping soldering. Here's the link Chicago Electric Welding Systems 90 Amp Flux Wire WelderI hope this will answer your question.

No. this is a stick welder. You really need a wire feeder for exhaust pipes.

They'd certainly cut the wire, but it would really depend on the gauge you're cutting I guess. I can't say with certain it would give you the smooth cut you're desiring though. Sorry . . .

Yes, I sawed through a metal pipe. Required a lot of manual labor but it does cut through.
