FAQs
What is the maximum pipe diameter this tool can cut?
The Bahco 302-35 is designed to handle pipes up to 35mm in diameter.
Can I use this on stainless steel pipes?
The tool is rated for steel, copper, bronze, and aluminium. For hardened stainless steel, ensure you use the correct wheel and take small, patient cuts.
Does it produce a lot of burrs?
The tool is designed to minimize burring. However, depending on the material, a light touch with a deburring tool may still be recommended for professional finish.
Are replacement cutting wheels available?
Yes, standard Bahco replacement wheels for this model can be purchased to maintain cutting efficiency.
Do I need to lubricate the pipe while cutting?
While not strictly necessary for soft copper, using a drop of cutting oil when working on harder materials like steel can prolong the life of the cutting wheel.
Troubleshooting
The pipe is being flattened or crushed during cutting.
Reduce the rate at which you tighten the feed screw. Only increase pressure slightly after each full rotation of the tool.
The cut is not square or the tool 'walks' along the pipe.
Ensure the pipe is positioned correctly against the guide rollers before starting the cut. Check that the cutting wheel is not chipped.
The tool is becoming difficult to rotate.
Check the feed screw threads for debris and apply a small amount of machine oil to ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Bahco 302-35, place the pipe between the rollers and the cutting wheel, then tighten the knob until the wheel makes contact with the pipe. Rotate the cutter around the pipe, gradually tightening the knob as you go until the pipe is separated. Compatibility includes copper, bronze, aluminium, and steel. For long-term care, keep the threads on the feed screw lightly oiled to ensure smooth movement and regularly inspect the cutting wheel for chips or dullness. Clean debris and metal shavings from the rollers after every use to ensure the pipe remains stable during rotation.
