Tubing Cutting Tools

We offer a precision cutter for fused silica tubing — SGT’s Shortix^™ Cutter (FS-315). This cutter ensures clean, trouble-free cutting of fused silica tubing, providing better cuts than any other product on the market. It also includes a built-in magnifying glass to examine the cut tubing ends. Order the FS-315-02 Maintenance Kit, as needed, to replace a worn or damaged cutting wheel.

When using traditional fused silica tubing cutters, only a small part of the tubing wall is scratched, then the tubing is snapped or pulled in two, often resulting in a jagged, uneven cut. With a Shortix Cutter, a clean cut is made every time, regardless of skill or experience, as the cut is made by rotating a diamond blade around the entire circumference of the tubing.

Please Note: The FS-315 Fused Silica Tubing Cutters are designed to cut only tubing with ODs of 350 µm–780 µm and IDs of 100 µm–350 µm.

For 1/16”, 1/8”, 3/16”, 1/4”, and 5/16” OD tubing

A flat, 90˚, burr-free cut is difficult to obtain with most commercial polymer tubing cutters. Our experts have designed several tubing cutters specifically to cut polymer tubing. This line of tubing cutters includes a standard cutter for 1/16” and 1/8” OD tubing (A-327), and another for large bore tubing (A-329). Each has guide holes to ensure precise cutting. These cutters are durable, reliable, and easy to operate. Five replacement blades are included with each tool.

Our A-350 Cutter is designed to cut capillary-sized polymer tubing. The cutter makes clean, perpendicular cuts without collapsing thin capillary walls. A set of ten tubing sleeves, required for cutting, are included with each cutter, along with five replacement blades. The included tubing sleeves are for cutting 360 µm OD polymer capillary tubing. Alternative sleeves are available for cutting 1/32” OD tubing. All tubing sleeves are 2” long and constructed with genuine Teflon^™ FEP resin.
