Combining cutting and chamfering in one tool, the new KNIPEX DPT50 pipe cutter (90 23 02 BK) is purpose-built for thick-walled plastic pipes commonly used in wastewater systems and industrial installations.
The DPT50 delivers clean cuts and consistent bevels on PVC, PP and PE pipes with wall thicknesses from 2.5 to 3.5mm and diameters of 32, 40 or 50mm. With a lightweight but rugged housing made from glass fibre-reinforced plastic and designed for speed and accuracy, the DPT50 is aimed squarely at professionals working under pressure.
Cutting and chamfering typically involves two separate tools but with the DPT50, both tasks are handled in one motion, saving time and ensuring uniformity across installations. Its multi-part blade trims and bevels in one pass, creating a neat edge that improves fit and helps ensure adhesive spreads evenly, minimising the risk of leaks from poor joins. With PVC pipes in particular, the special cutting principle ensures that only very little pressure is exerted on the pipe, virtually eliminating the risk of the pipe breaking during cutting.
The spring-loaded blade maintains consistent pressure so there’s no need for readjustment as you work and self-adjusting guide rollers made with plain bearings keep the pipe securely in place without obscuring the cut line. The result is accurate, consistent cuts, even when trimming short offcuts as small as 10mm.
Despite its light weight, the DPT50 is engineered for demanding site use. The robust plastic housing stands up to everyday knocks and the replaceable, double-sided blade (part number 90 23 02 E01) which can be used on both sides, extends service life. Swapping blades takes seconds and doesn’t require tools, ideal for busy site teams and installers working to tight schedules.
