Anyone used "Faithfull" tools? (PC50 Tube Cutter)

I've now found their website at

I'd still be interested to know if anyone else has used this tool though,

If you have £50 to spend, look around for a suitably priced cutoff saw, either a crappy new one like:

or a good quality second hand one like:

This will be much easier and quicker to use than the pipe cutter.

The second one, the Makita, looks more like a standard hand held circular saw to me.

I see what you mean, but it isn't. The baseplate is actually the cutting table. To the right of the picture, the little plane tail thing is the handle for the work clamp. It is definitely a chop-style cutoff saw, just a bad picture ;-)

I've got an el cheapo compound mitre saw I bought from B&Q - now replaced with a sliding version.

It's solidly enough constructed - I've wondered if it could be used as a chop saw with a change of blade? I've used it for plastic waste pipe and conduit, but not metal.

I dunno, I have one of each - a cheap sliding miter saw and a metal cutting chop saw. The chop saw spins a lot faster than the mitre saw, more like angle grinder speeds really. Not sure how well it would cut at say 1/5th the speed.

Yep, and its even got the same fault as mine, the safety release button for the power switch is missing so you'll need to poke a 6mm x

Followup: Faithfull got back to me and said they couldn't guarantee that it would be suitable for this tube. Looks like I'll have to look out for a cut-off saw.
