Rothenberger Pipeslice Cutter Wheel

The Rothenberger Pipeslice Cutter Wheel is the replacement wheel for Rothenberger Pipeslice tools. It fits the 15mm, 22mm and 28mm Pipeslice, so one spare covers the whole set.

When to change a Rothenberger Pipeslice cutter wheel

A sharp wheel slices copper cleanly in a few turns. Once it wears, the cut takes longer, the tool tracks off line and you start to see a raised lip on the pipe. That lip can spoil a Compression or Push-Fit joint. A chipped wheel is also worth changing straight away. Swapping the wheel brings the tool back to life for a fraction of the cost of a new one.

Note which way round the old wheel sits before you take it out. Fit the new wheel the same way and check it turns freely. Keep the wheel and rollers clean of grit and swarf, as dirt is what wears them fastest. Other cutting spares are in the blades category.

Common Questions

How do I change the wheel on a Pipeslice?

Note how the old wheel sits, then remove its pin or screw and lift it out. Fit the new wheel the same way round and check it spins freely before cutting.

How do I know my pipe cutter wheel is worn?

Cuts take more turns, the tool wanders off square and the pipe end shows a raised lip. A chipped edge is another sign it is time to swap.

Can a Pipeslice cut stainless or plastic pipe?

The standard wheel is made for copper. Check Rothenberger’s guidance before using it on other materials, as a harder pipe will blunt it quickly.
