Hi LMC, Are you talking about the chain operated earthenware (clay-pipe) cutter?
-
Yup thats the one, something along the lines of this

Damn, I was looking at one just a few weeks ago at a garage sale thinking I have not used one of these in ages! Sorry Bud, will keep an eye out though and let you know if I come across another one.
-
bugger, but thanks very much, its a bit of a long shot and well not much demand for them anymore, there isn't even any one trade me :(

Hi there was a ridgid clay cutter on trade me for around $ 800 a couple of weeks ago worth checking expired listings.
I use one that was originally designed for cutting cast iron pipe works great on clay but hard to get into tight places as its about 4 feet long. dont rotate to cut just set the chain untill tight on the pipe and squeeze a bit tighter and ' ping' your done, got to be careful as the edges are as sharp as broken glass!
the cheap dry cutting diamond blades they sell at mitre 10 on a angle grinder work well just need a R.C.D and no guard on the grinder.
Might be worth searching for cast iron pipe cutter.
-
seen the one for $800, thats our side of my price range considering i need to mod it a bit to make it do what i want it to do, which is not cut pipe lol

No Chance you want to sell you one?
-
Sorry but not on your nellie, i hunted for a while before mine turned up .
Keep looking, you will find one somewhere or you could see if you can hire one, perhaps worth asking around at the merchants mite catch a plumber who has one.
Best of luck.

looks interesting - where do you find them? locally in NZ?
-
LMC stand for littlemining.co.nz we do kids mining, and geode cracking etc,
Sadly very hard to find thing like that in Nz so we import 99% of our gems and fossils
-
Interesting so now theres three uses for a cast iron pipe cutter.
I dont know for sure but if you could get the chain then if you have an engineer freind then perhaps fabricate up something that would do it. i have a mate who loves making things that arent worth making just to see if it can be done.... i am carefull not to bother him too much!
Otherwise the best thing is to keep looking on trde me, they arent the most sort after item usually. I will keep you posted if i see one.
:)
