Cps Products CPS-BTC100 Blackmax Ultra Mini Tube Cutter

Product Description

The CPS PRODUCTS CPS-BTC100 BlackMax Ultra Mini Tube Cutter is a compact, spring-loaded cutting tool designed for HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing technicians who work in tight spaces. The tool features a chrome hardened cutting wheel and a knurled grip knob for controlled, repeatable cuts. A dual-setting design covers both soft materials and rigid tubing. The spring-loaded rollers self-adjust to the tube diameter, which helps produce a clean, square cut even on slightly deformed stock. This cutter handles outside diameters from 1/8 inch to 5/8 inch.

The CPS-BTC100 is suited for service and installation work where a standard-size tube cutter cannot fit. Common applications include refrigerant line sets, copper water supply lines, and aluminum tubing in confined equipment cabinets, tight wall chases, or equipment access panels. The dual soft and hard material settings make it practical across a range of tubing types encountered on residential and light commercial jobs. A quick-change center pin simplifies field maintenance of the cutting wheel.

Key Features

• Spring-loaded rollers self-adjust for a smooth, clean cut on round or slightly deformed tubing
• Chrome hardened cutting wheel for long service life
• Soft setting for annealed or soft copper and aluminum tube
• Hard setting for rigid copper and aluminum tube
• Quick-change center pin for fast field wheel replacement
• Compact form factor designed for confined-space access

Compatibility

Designed for cutting soft and rigid copper and aluminum tubing with outside diameters from 1/8 inch to 5/8 inch, as commonly found in HVAC refrigerant lines and plumbing supply applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers during line set installation or component replacement. Always recover refrigerant and isolate the system before cutting into an active refrigerant circuit. When cutting copper water lines, shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making the cut. Score the tube with light pressure on the first revolution before tightening the feed to avoid deforming the tube end.
