I am pretty confident it will, but I have never done it. I've used it mostly for cutting down small trees and brush and it works really well for that.

Hard to think of something to compare it to. I would think about the thickness of 1/4" PVC pipe. Not the cpvc for not water but the regular pipe.

Awesome ! Remember, it's what we call a "pull saw", so mark your pipe and gently pull the saw to you until it bites the PVC. After that (when you've got a groove) you can cut normally. The Shark saw is the best saw I've ever owned. I own 2 different styles and they both work great. Hope this helps, because it's an excellent product!

It's PVC like material and yes it's very easy to cut. I used a circular saw and a jig saw and neither one of them had a problem. Just don't do like I did and cut the wrong side. Their is a top and bottom, just read the instructions to figure that out.

A bit flexible at the tip to give that water sound. I have short arms so I cut bout 2 inches from the tip and that stiffened the sword up considerably. This is NOT a combat blade.

I used it to dry cut pavers and termite block. Anything over 4 inches thick is pushing the limits of the blade.

Yes, real easy just add a pipe coupling and more or longer 3/4" pipe but the longer you make it the heavier it will get, no problem if your doing fence post, I knew a guy that did a water well, I had no idea how strong he was till I owned one. Also the blades can adjust out for 6x6 post.

I've cut pretty thick metal pipes with the accompanying metal cutting blade. It's powerful enough to to do the job.

I had sucess making one pretty easily out of PVC. Just heat and shape. Otherwise try Crazy Crow's Trading Post or Smokey Mountain Knife Works They both carry affordible options. My prefference would be one from Crazy Crow's. Hope this helps!

Will it cut PVC pipe? Yes...But I'd ask why? 1st it only has a 9" cut do if doing small craft project your good. 2nd there are better ways to cut small diameter PVC. The PVC scissors would be way cheaper

Travis O., this tubing is pretty sturdy but not if it is long like a cane, it might bend under pressure. I had to cut it with a saw to get it to the lenght I needed for my mom's fish tank. So I it is not as strong like PVC pipe so you might want to use something else. God Bless, Reggie J.

I used a PVC tubing cutter as I had to make many cuts for my installation. It's much faster than using a saw.

yes, water is directed through a hose into the blade housing so you should be fine cutting on vertical surfaces.

Is the devise secured and how hard are you typing? With mine I have non issues. I do use a PVC pipe to help support it when is fully extended PVC is easy to cut it to the exact length and it's very sting

The thickness is maintained over the entire blade length. It is 1/4 inch thick

Sorry but i would need further explanation of the type of plastic you are cutting and the thickness and i will answer to the best of my ability Brand of the plastic and type would be helpful. Steve

Great blade and about 3/32". I agree with Tunco, and don't force it. A steady hand is really important so it doesn't jump, as it has the tendency to do when aggressively used. Patience.
