One-Revolution Tube Cutter 5
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Elliott 9060 series one-revolution tube cutter can be used to puncture the wall of both non-ferrous
and stainless steel tubes for venting purposes. However, the tool is not recommended for severing
stainless materials for tube removal due to the yield strength of those materials. Stainless materials
tend to are and not sheer well, which could cause damage to the tube sheet when the tube is pulled
for removal.
The one-revolution tube cutter is designed strictly as a hand operated tool. It should never be used
with a power drill or impact wrench. Using the one-revolution tube cutter with a power tool may result
in damage to the tool, the vessel being worked on, or injury to the operator.
For the proper function of the one-revolution tube cutter it is important to select and use the correct
cutter for the tube size being punctured or cut. Refer to the chart on page 7 of this manual, your Elliott
catalog or the Elliott Product Selection CD for size options.
The only adjustment available with the one-revolution cutter is for the depth of cut down tube. See the
operation section for direction on setting the cutting depth.
Cutter bits will wear out but are easily replaced. See page 9 for directions on installing replacement
bits in your tool.
Why Puncture Tubes Prior To Plugging?
After plugging a leaking tube, corrosion deposits or polymerized process uids often seal the
perforation or crack that led to the plugging. Fluid is then captured inside the tube, which can cause a
buildup of sufcient pressure to eject the tube plug and cause injury. Venting the tube with a generous
puncture prior to plugging prevents the trapping of uids in the tube. Positive venting will also prevent
such occurrences as re, explosion or release of toxic or noxious materials to the atmosphere during
retubing or plug removal.
Venting process is recommended for oil renery, petrochemical, chemical and other process heat
exchangers and for feed water heaters.
NOTE: Venting can be accomplished even on heavy wall tubes that cannot be severed due to the thick
ribbon catching on adjacent tubes.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
After selecting the proper one-revolution cutter for the tube being punctured or cut, follow the steps
below.
1. Determine the distance down tube you wish to make the cut. Using a 3mm allen wrench,
loosen the set screw (item 5 diagram 1, pg 9) and slide the collar (item 4 diagram , pg
9) to the desired setting to a maximum depth of 6”. Best practice is to avoid setting the
depth closer thana few inches to prevent side loading the blade causing it to fracture.
Tighten the set screw.
2. Make sure the cutter bit is laid down inside the cavity of the cutter body.
3. Insert the cutter into the tube until the collar is resting against the tube sheet opening.
4. Using a wrench, turn the tool clockwise. The cutter bit will engage against the inside of
the tube wall, you will feel the resistance. Continuing to turn the wrench clockwise will
force the cutter bit through the tube wall.
5. Rotating the cutter a complete 360° will sever the tube. A ribbon of tube material will
remain attached to one of the tube ends, which may or may not come off the tube when
it is pulled. Note: Ribbon of tube wall material can limit rotating the cutter when severing
heavy wall tubes.
6. To remove the tube cutter from the tube turn the cutter counter-clockwise which will reset
the cutter bit to the “down” position. It may help to pull back slightly on the tube cutter
while turning to reset the cutter bit. Once the cutter bit is retracted the tool can be
removed from the tube.
NOTE: To function properly, the cutter but must move freely in the body cavity. Keep the cavity clean
of grease, dirt, and chips that could restrict free movement.
How To Vent A Tube
2
Insert the cutter into the tube and
start rotating the cutter clockwise.
1
Determine how far down the tube
you wish to make the cut, and lock
the collar in place.
3
When you begin to feel some
resistance, rotate the tool a quarter
turn more to pierce the tube.
4
Turn the cutter counter-clockwise
to reset the cutter bit. Once the
bit is retracted the cutter can be
removed.
