Abstract:
1. A pipe cutter comprising: a housing assembly including a first member and a second member slidably engaged therewith; a feedscrew having a proximal end adapted for receiving a source of rotary power, an opposite distal end, and an external threaded region between the proximal end and the distal end, the external threaded region of the feedscrew being threadedly engaged with the second member of the housing assembly; a flexible cutting chain defining a first end and a second end, the first end engaged to the first member of the housing assembly and the second end engaged to the second member of the housing assembly; wherein upon application of torque to the proximal end of the feedscrew resulting in rotation of the feedscrew relative to the second member of the housing assembly, the second member of the housing assembly is linearly displaced relative to the first member of the housing assembly, thereby changing the distance between the first end of the cutting chain and the second end of the cutting chain.
