[TheForge] cutting off copper ferrules?

[John Allen]

I would get a piece of SS round bar that will fit good inside the
copper pipe and use a pipe cutter. I just got done a 3000 foot food
grade pipe system and I had to field cut all my pipe. I bought a 2
inch pipe cutter ( 2 inch pipe ) and went really slow. If you spin it
about 8 times then tighten it a small amount it won't crush the pipe.
It may seem like it takes forever but it was well worth it for me. Or
load it in a lathe and spin it there and tighten real slow. That would
speed it up for ya.
