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.

A centering device on a cutting device using an ultrahigh pressure (UHP) hose carrying UHP fluid is designed to be inserted into a pipe or tube and cut the same from the inside out. In one example, the cutting device is for insertion into a wellbore for cutting the casing of the wellbore from within the wellbore with a revolvable UHP hose. The cutting head which effectuates the cut may be centered by the centering device that is generally conical in shape such that a portion of the centering device remains exterior to the pipe or tube as the UHP revolves during the cutting action.

A tube cutting apparatus includes an inner blade, a drive shaft, a coupling shaft, a planetary gear, and a ring gear. The outer blade has an inner peripheral surface which contacts an entire circumference of an outer periphery of a work W so as to cover a predetermined axial range of the outer periphery. The drive shaft is rotatably supported inside the work W coaxially with the work W and defines a bore therethrough at a position decentered by a predetermined amount within the drive shaft. The coupling shaft is rotatably supported in the bore. The inner blade is rotatably retained on an eccentric shaft decentered at a front end portion of the coupling shaft and is positioned inside the work W. The planetary gear is positioned outside the work W and fitted on a rear end portion of the coupling shaft coaxially and meshes with the ring gear.

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 The punching tool (3, 4) is withdrawn out of a pipe end, the punching tool is rotated 180, it is re-inserted into the pipe end and the punching tool (3, 4) is displaced in a direction which is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).

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.
