Pipe splitting apparatuses and systems including a replaceable blade, and methods therefor, are provided. In various examples, a pipe splitting apparatus includes an outer surface including a recess. A blade including a portion is disposed within the recess. A hardenable material is disposed within the recess. The hardenable material is configured to flow upon application to fill empty space within the recess and at least partially around the portion of the blade disposed within the recess. The hardenable material is further configured to harden after application to secure the portion of the blade within the recess and fix the blade to the pipe splitting apparatus.

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for shape cutting a pipe end. An arched cutter (4) of a punching tool (3, 4) is inserted into an end of a pipe (1) for penetrating the same into a wall of the pipe (1) in a plane of the arched cutter. Then, the punching tool is displaced in a direction perpendicular to a center axis (C) of the pipe (1), whereby the arched cutter (4), while moving outwards from inside the pipe, shears off a piece that matches its shape. The punching tool (3, 4) is withdrawn out of a pipe end, the punching tool is rotated 180, it is re-inserted into the pipe end and the punching tool (3, 4) is displaced in a direction which is perpendicular to the pipe center axis (C) and opposite to the previous displacement direction, thus enabling the shearing off the pipe end a second piece matching the shape of the arched cutter (4).

A hollow rod developable actuator tool including a cylinder defining the outer circumference of the hollow rod, a first tool mechanism, and a second tool mechanism. The hollow rod developable actuator tool transitions from a first closed state wherein the first tool mechanism and second tool mechanism are contained entirely within the outer circumference of the hollow rod to a second open state wherein the first tool mechanism and second tool mechanism extent outside the outer circumference of the hollow rod.

A pipe cutting machine, which includes a hole-type movable cutting die (6b), which is driven by a drive lever (7), by means of which circular movements with a continuously variable stroke (h) can be performed, an eccentrically shaped crank pin bearing (26) in an outer shaft (18), in which a crank pin (11), which is arranged eccentrically on a crank pin drive (23), is movably supported in relation to the outer shaft (18), the crank pin (11) being in operative connection with the drive lever (7).

An improved cartridge case completely produced net shape on a progressive cold former that includes a trim to lengthy station with an internal shearing tool.

Disclosed is an inside pipe cutter lock. The inside pipe cutter lock is intended for use as an attachment on a power drill. The inside pipe cutter lock locks a drill bit into position by grasping the edge of a chuck grip. This prevents the loss of an inside pipe cutter when cutting pipe from the inside out.
