Will Lowes cut PVC pipe for me?
We make your projects easy. We can cut lumber, mini-blinds, pipe, rope, chain and more. Lowe's also offers free pipe threading and cutting for any size of galvanized or black iron pipe.
The Home Depot offers free pipe-cutting services for PVC pipes. Home Depot's general policy is three free cuts for every ten feet of PVC pipe. Customers must pay for additional cuts.
Using a small PVC cutter is by far the easiest and least expensive cutting method. There are no jagged edges to cut yourself on, and the tool requires minimal force to cut PVC pipe. To operate a PVC cutter, line up the blade with the desired cutting point and open and close the tool until you complete the cut.
A: Yes and Home Depot can cut and thread any size you need. Helpful? A: Yes, it is. Also, HD has pipe cutting and threading service, if you need a specific length.
In addition to threading pipe, Home Depot also gladly offers a pipe cutting service free of charge.
A hand saw is the most common way to cut PVC pipe, but can be a little messy. You can use almost any kind of saw, but a hacksaw is best as it gives you much more flexibility.
A hacksaw is a good choice if you need to make just a few cuts. Scissor-type plastic cutters are effective for small pipes of 1 inch in diameter or less, but they require more effort by hand. Ratchet-style cutters tend to be more accurate than scissor-type. They can cut larger-diameter pipes up to 1 1/2 inches.
The manufacturer-recommended tool for cutting into older CPVC is a C-style tubing cutter. This tool will not compress the pipe and virtually eliminates the risk of cracking or splintering.
For cutting PVC pipe, use a combination wood/metal blade with a 10/14 TPI configuration. There is no specialty PVC sawzall blade, nor is one necessary.

You can use almost any kind of saw, but a hacksaw is best as it gives you much more flexibility. To use a handsaw to cut the pipe, simply hold or clamp the pipe over the edge of a counter or workbench and use the saw on the mark where you want to cut. Saw in a back and forth motion, all the way through the pipe.
