Yeah. I've used the pipe cutters for years. The hardness of the barrel, definitely defines a slow process. Tighten enough to grab hold, square, then a couple revolutions around the barrel. Add 1/4-1/2 turn to cutter, twice around again. Continue until cut.I would take it real easy and crank the handle in real slow, You can swage the material down quite a bit reducing the ID of the bore significantly. If you do it in very small steps it would minimize it.
I worked with a big swede that would piss off the welders by making the pipe square cranky my it down to get it done faster.I would take it real easy and crank the handle in real slow, You can swage the material down quite a bit reducing the ID of the bore significantly.

For a better finish, I use ether a ball hone for break wheel cylinders or a regular two blade hone. Just use a few drops of trany fluid and flush with solvent of your choice!I have a metal chop saw, hack saw, and a pipe cutter as shown. I figured to use the pipe cutter for the sake of a straight line cut, then a round file or reamer inside to clean it up.
