OVERVIEW

Simplify Your Pipe Prep

Achieving the perfect cut on a pipe is the first step toward a high-quality weld. The Techniweld 278M Pipe Cutting Guide takes the guesswork out of manual pipe layout, giving you the confidence to make precise cuts every time. Designed for 2-7/8 inch O.D. pipe, this tool is a must-have for any welder or pipefitter looking to speed up their workflow without sacrificing accuracy. Whether you are working on a handrail, a roll cage, or a plumbing system, this guide ensures your angles are spot-on.

Master Complex Cuts

Forget about complicated math or paper templates that tear and slip. This cutting guide provides a rigid, reliable template for the most common pipe cuts. It allows you to quickly mark:

  • 90-degree straight cuts for standard butt joints.
  • 45-degree and 22-degree angles for directional changes and elbows.
  • Saddle cuts for secure and professional-looking branch connections.

Built for the Job Site

Time is money on the job site, and rework is the enemy. By using the Techniweld 278M, you ensure that your pipe ends fit together cleanly, minimizing the gap that needs to be filled with weld metal. This not only saves consumables but also results in a stronger, more aesthetically pleasing joint. Lightweight and portable, this guide fits easily into any toolbox, ready to assist whenever you need to make a cut.
