NA-06 - Cleaning: Mechanical Methods

Cutting apparatus

Mechanically operated apparatus

The pipe saw borer falls within the category of mechanically working devices that are generally no longer in use today. It is based on the use of a saw blade as a cutting tool that moves forwards and backwards while rotating at the same time. Cooling and cleaning are achieved through the automatic wetting of the saw blade with water.
