Description

Ridgid 33005 2" To 3" Internal Tubing Cutter

Inside-Out Pipe Trimming. Below-Floor Flush Alignment. Industrial Tool-Steel Cutting Wheel.

The RIDGID 33005 Model 106 Internal Tubing Cutter solves the industry's toughest sub-floor finish and overhead clearance cutting obstacles. Purpose-built to trim pre-installed utility lines from the inside out, this premium tool is essential for shortening waste lines, floor drains, and closet flanges flush to concrete slabs, or cleaning up overhead fire sprinkler tracks below ceiling tile lines. It gives commercial plumbing crews and finish mechanical contractors the mechanical ability to make perfectly square, clean structural cuts inside dense lines where a standard external pipe cutter is physically blocked by structural obstacles.

Industrial endurance and specialized depth alignment define the engineering behind the RIDGID 33005. The tool features a hardened tool-steel core frame and a premium-machined aluminum guide body designed to drop down into standard 2-inch and 3-inch pipe schedules. It is equipped with ultra-sharp, high-alloy hardened steel rollers and specialized cutter wheels that expand under precise knob control to trim through heavy-walled plastics or soft non-ferrous metals smoothly. This inside-out mechanism creates a perfectly square finish face ready for immediate flange seating or union cementing without risk of cracking thin pipe walls or scarring finished masonry or tile backings.

Why the RIDGID 106 Internal Tubing Cutter Belongs on the Service Truck:

  • Specialized Inside-Out Cutting Mechanics: Easily trims pre-installed lines below floor boundaries or inside deep ceiling openings with zero external clearance required.
  • Durable Tool Steel & Aluminum Body: Lightweight aluminum housing reduces hand fatigue while the hardened tool steel framework withstands heavy jobsite torque.
  • Hardened Steel Rollers & Cutter Wheels: High-performance, wear-resistant steel cutting wheels slice cleanly through ABS, PVC, and soft non-ferrous tubing arrays.
  • Precise Screw Feed Adjustments: Knurled pressure adjustment handle provides smooth, fine-tuned expansion control to ensure even, burr-free edge tracking.
  • Eliminates Demolition Re-Work: Saves thousands in labor expenses by removing the need to chip away cured concrete or pull down structural drywall sheets to fix a bad pipe height.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ How exactly does an internal tubing cutter work compared to a standard cutter?
Standard pipe cutters clamp around the outside of a tube, which requires substantial open perimeter workspace clearance. The RIDGID Model 106 drops completely inside the internal diameter of a pre-set pipe. As you spin the tool handles, you rotate an integrated knurled feed knob that expands the cutter wheel outward against the internal pipe wall, slicing through the material cleanly from the inside out.
+ Can this tool handle cutting thick iron gas lines, schedule 80 steel, or cast iron?
No. This tool is precision-engineered for plastic piping (like PVC, ABS, and CPVC) and soft, non-ferrous metallic lines (such as thick copper, aluminum, or brass tubing). Attempting to expand this wheel against hard carbon steel, rigid iron conduit, or heavy cast-iron mains will immediately shatter the hardened cutting wheel, strip the internal feed screw tracks, and void your warranty.
+ Does this cutter assembly include any replacement cutter wheels inside the box?
The 33005 package arrives fully assembled with one pre-mounted, commercial-grade hardened steel wheel optimized for plastic and soft non-ferrous metals. Backup replacement wheels are sold separately. Because RIDGID tool designs prioritize long lifecycles, swapping worn wheels down the line is basic and requires only backing out a standard retention pin screw.
+ How do I ensure my cut stays perfectly straight and level when working blindly inside a pipe?
The Model 106 is engineered with an advanced, wide-profile **machined aluminum guide collar**. This cylindrical base body mimics the internal diameter of the pipe walls, centering the tool automatically. As long as you keep the tool's main drive stem square relative to your floor opening, the internal alignment guides prevent the wheel from walking or spiraling during rotation, tracking a perfectly perpendicular line.
