Description

RIDGID Model 258 Power Pipe Cutter

The RIDGID Model 258 Power Pipe Cutter is a heavy-duty pipe cutting system designed to deliver fast, accurate, and square cuts on steel pipe, galvanised pipe, and rigid conduit. Suitable for both job site and workshop use, it is built for professional pipe fabrication, installation, and preparation where clean cuts and dependable performance matter.

Powered by the RIDGID No. 700 Power Drive, the Model 258 uses a displacement cutting action rather than removing material, helping produce clean cuts with minimal burr and without abrasive dust, sparks, or open flame. This makes it an excellent choice for contractors and fabrication professionals working with 2 1/2" to 8" schedule 10 and schedule 40 steel pipe.


Ideal Applications

  • Cutting steel pipe on site or in the workshop
  • Preparing pipe for groove joining
  • Cutting galvanised pipe and rigid conduit
  • Fabrication and installation work requiring square cuts
  • Pipe preparation prior to beveling

Key Features & Benefits

Accurate Square Cuts
The Model 258 is designed to produce square cuts on both full 6m pipe lengths and shorter nipple lengths, helping improve consistency and reducing the need for additional finishing work.

Displacement Cutting Action
Instead of grinding away pipe material, the cutter works by displacement, which helps deliver efficient cutting with less mess and reduced material loss.

Minimal Burr for Cleaner Preparation
The cutting process leaves minimal burr, helping speed up downstream preparation and making the cutter especially useful for pipework that needs a neat, professional finish.

No Abrasive Dust, Sparks, or Open Flame
Because the Model 258 does not rely on abrasive cutting methods, it offers a cleaner and safer approach for many site and fabrication environments.

Powered by the RIDGID No. 700 Power Drive
When paired with the RIDGID 700 Power Drive, the system delivers reliable rotational cutting performance suitable for demanding professional applications.

Hydraulic Foot Pump Control
The operator controls the feed rate using the hydraulic foot pump, allowing steady pressure and greater control throughout the cut.

Excellent for Groove Joining Preparation
The square, low-burr cut makes the Model 258 a strong choice for cutting pipe that will go on to be prepared for groove joining systems.

Adaptable for Beveling
The cutter can also be used alongside the RIDGID Pipe Roller for beveling, allowing the pipe to be rotated while a second operator bevels with a grinder.

Heavy-Duty Construction
Built for professional use, the rugged design is suitable for both field and workshop environments where durability and dependable performance are essential.
