Will thus cutter realy cut 3/16 copper tubes used for break lines?

Yes it does cut steel brake line very well and copper would be even easier but I don't believe copper is legal for use in hydraulic brake lines on vehicles in North America.

Yes, Ridgid is probably the best. Great for close corners. Ridgid double flare tool is super too. Make sure you are using actual "brake copper tubing" not plumbing tubing.

It might work out just fine. I'd have to see the wire in person to tell you for sure there. Great cutters regardless.

I would think so. Most of these bolt cutters are designed to cut through much harder material than copper. I can cut 8 gauge copper with my side cutters (if I really work at it), these things have much higher mechanical advantage and should slide right through that kind of material. I have the 18" version, they would cut through copper like it wasn't there.

It could work, but this saw is designed for cutting metal or PVC. I used it to cut copper pipe. The blade is thin and it broke after about 10 uses, but I was really hard on it. It did what I wanted it to though.

Yes no problem it would work great for that. I've used mine for a long time now and no other wire cutter could stand up like this slicer. I would buy it again

This tool is designed for HVAC installers to cut holes in galvanized sheet metal. I never tried it on copper.

I work on aircraft and it's able to cut 24 gauge aluminum with no problem. Copper i think is softer... So it should work.

I believe it would. I don't deal with pipe, but I do cut 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 square tubing. I cut the on more than a 45 degree angle as well. You just have to make sure you face the saw the correct way. So that the body of the saw is facing away from where you are cutting into.

Yes, That's the way I use mine.. I would not cut anything really hard though.. Copper, Silver and Gold should be OK though

It would probably cut foam board without a problem, but the 3/16 measurement might be difficult to manage since the paper cutter has a half inch grid.

I have cut 3/8 inch plexiglass, and it did just fine. It is not a machine for heavy daily use, but if you need it for home use, it does great.

I tend to use mine more for precision work, where there is a need for more portability or where my full size rip saw cannot get in. I would cut 3/4" materials with a full size unit.

I am sure with practice. never tried it. here is the product description on the web site. Makita JN1601 5 Amp 16 Gauge Nibbler scroll to the bottom and will indicate the radius of cutting and gages of metal.

Yes I believe its possible. This flush cutter is meant for "softer" metals such as jewellery.

Yes I had a 1/2" copper pipe slip join situation and it worked. There is a space between the threads on the end of the plastic pipe Delta supplys that I had to cut off about 3/4:" with a hack saw. See item (6) in the instructions. Then everything worked OK.

That's an interesting question. I had never heard of "kanthal" wire previous to your question (I looked it up) so I can only tell you that it will cut 20,24 & 26 gauge COPPER wire just fine - if that information is of any use to you. Good Luck
