Precision, speed, and durability for stainless steel tube cutting

The RIDGID 31803 65S stainless steel tubing cutter is designed to deliver dependable performance in real-world projects. Built to cut stainless steel tube to the exact length you need, it blends robust construction with thoughtful details that help you work efficiently on the job.

Key design choices drive smoother cuts and faster setup.
