Kerf Cutter - FAQS

How far can you cut down?

The tool is able to cut down 11”. However, you can only cut down as low as your new replacement top will allow, which is typically 6”

How many repairs can you get with the blade?

If you size the blade correctly to the pipe (ie, not too small), you can get about 8-10 repairs per diamond wheel

Which one should I get, the corded or cordless?

The cordless is very convenient, but the corded version is more robust and powerful.

What is the grinding wheel for?

After cutting the valve box and removing the broken section, you can attach it to the tool and adjust the pavement as needed to fit the new box top.

Do you sell the replacement valve tops?

Yes, we sell them as a kit, which includes gasket material and sealant, or just the floating box tops.

Can we use the tool on other pipes?

We do sell the Operating Nut Adapter that can be used on any pipe as long as you set it the foot on a solid surface. Call us with questions on this one. 952-484-8610
