How to Cut Terracotta Sewer Pipe
- 1). Lay the section of your terra cotta pipe you need to cut on a work bench or flat on the ground.
- 2). Mark the area you will be cutting on your terra cotta sewer pipe with chalk to create your cutting line.
- 3). Set the pipe-cutting tool on the ground also, with the pressure screw facing up. Twist the pressure screw counterclockwise to fully extend the jaws of the cutting chain.
- 4). Place your pipe under the cutting chain, with the chain lined up with your chalk line guide.
- 5). Turn the pressure screw clockwise to tighten the cutting chain. Turn until the cutting chain cuts the terra cotta pipe.
