I was hoping to know if anyone has used this cutter on EMT electrical conduit?

No, but normally a tubing style cutter on emt leaves a internal burr that can cut your wire and cause it to short if not filed down.

I have used one to cut small diameter emt, it will cut it slowly. The cutter will leave a burr on the inside of the pipe which will need to be removed. Remember one thing this is a copper pipe cutter not an emt pipe cutter, making lots of emt cuts and applying lots of pressure on the cutter can cause the cutter to prematurely wear out or break.

The best answer is a small pair of Cable Cutters which would do the best job. The two intersecting blades are curved or have a V notch on each blade thus distributing the cutting pressure more evenly around the cable. Since the cable is quite small it will probably be hard to find a pair small enough. Search on the internet for Small Cable cutters. If you know an electrician he might have something that would work. Best I can suggest.

I use this to cut wires, coils, thin metal, aluminium, plastic and also rubber hose. Honestly I never did read the packing.

absolutely, get strong wire cutters, this is not flimsy wire mesh, its great wire. marisa

Yes. On the lower section there is a wire cutter and can be used to crimp several sizes of wire. . This tool is great and worth every penny IMHO.

Yes, it will cut PVC pipes. If you want a long lasting blade, Dremel makes a carbide tooth blade.

I'm not sure--the wire might "bend" as it's cutting. It doesn't do well on thin plastic,

Yes I have used this tool to find a bad wire behindd ddrywall which was cut by a drywall screw.

The cable is a PVC coated wire cable and would not be immune to bolt cutters. If someone were that serious they would cut it.

I am sorry to say I have not tried to work the tool yet. Mainly I use it for cutting sheetrock for electrical boxes. Aside from that I have not tried to use it for anything else.

Yes, and no. Yes, it can be done, but I don't believe it will work well attempting to do so in one single slice / cut. I'd recommend stripping the insulation away first and then cut the wire if you wanted to do so with the blade. The pliers would work better for cutting the actual wire, and using the blade(s) for shaving off the insulation. So, yes, you can do it, but no, I wouldn't do so in one cut. Hope this helps. :)

Simple wire cutters should be sufficient. If they are sharp, they won't flatten the cable - the cable is thin enough to not be a problem. I would not use the "cutters" on pliers or on a leatherman multi tool or similar - normal but sharp wire cutters will do fine.

I've had problems with this tool on cable coax wire for tv - I would not use it on speaker wire unless I tried it on many scrap pieces -

I would not use an electric stencil cutter to cut any type of film with. The chemicals on the film may be extremely toxic and may be very dangerous to breath any fumes coming off of the fume while cutting it with heat.There is plenty of plastic materials like mylar and PETG plastics to choose from that would do a good job for you and not be coated with toxic chemicals.

Yes no problem it would work great for that. I've used mine for a long time now and no other wire cutter could stand up like this slicer. I would buy it again

Nope. I cut a slit in a 4" long piece of 1 1/4" PVC pipe and slip it over the blade. Works well.

This is not the best or cheapest tool for that kind of work. I have done it but it takes.a few steps. I'd strip the outer.jacket.away with.the.blade to expose the.length of wires I need to have exposed. Then I either carefully cut down through the insulation and spin the.blade to make a circumfrential cut. Then you may be able to pull the insulation off or grab the insulation with the pliers and pull it off. The other way is to shave the insulation away from the wire. Either way you'll want to be careful not to NICK the wire. To cut the wire itself you could use the pliers to bend it back and forth until the wire fatigues and breaks, or use the file and file part way through then bend it once or.twice and it will snap.
