USA Industries One-Rev Internal Tube Cutter

The One-Rev Internal Tube Cutter from USA Industries is specifically engineered for efficient and swift cutting or puncturing of heat exchanger, boiler, or condenser tubes. This tool simplifies the process, allowing for quick and easy tube manipulation. By cutting the internal tube before inserting tube plugs, the One-Rev tube cutter eliminates the risk of tube plugs being forcefully ejected under high pressure, a hazard that can be extremely dangerous and even fatal.

Additionally, the One-Rev tube cutter is versatile and can be used to fully cut ferrous or copper tubes (including non-ferrous light wall tubes) on one end before tube removal.

Tube Range 1/2" – 2-1/2"

Common Questions
One-Rev Tube Cutter FAQ
What is an internal tube cutter used for?
An internal tube cutter cuts or punctures a heat exchanger, boiler, or condenser tube from the inside. It's most often used before installing a tube plug — cutting the tube first relieves trapped pressure so the plug can't be forcefully ejected, which is a serious safety hazard on pressurized systems. It's also used to fully sever a tube on one end before removal.
What tube sizes does the One-Rev cutter work with?
The One-Rev is available for 1/2" through 2-1/2" tubes, all gauges, with a standard 10" reach — longer reaches are available on request. It works on ferrous and copper tubes, including non-ferrous light-wall tubes.
Is the One-Rev compatible with Airetool bits?
Yes — One-Rev bits are directly interchangeable with Airetool bits, so existing Airetool tooling carries over.
How do I order a One-Rev cutter or replacement bit?
Use the format OR-T-(Tube O.D.)-(Tube Gauge). For example, OR-T-0750-14 orders a cutter sized for a 3/4" tube at 14 gauge. Call (800) 456-8721 and we'll confirm the right part number for your tube spec.
Step-by-Step
Easy Operation Instructions

Operating the cutter is straightforward: with the assistance of a wrench, adjust the depth collar stop to ensure the cutter bit extends beyond the tube sheet, then rotate it clockwise. Once the bit initiates cutting the internal tube, a quarter revolution punctures it, while a full revolution completes the cut.
