You have a PipeCut machine on site and a blade to replace. The question is simple: which blade fits? Getting pipe saw blade compatibility wrong means a wasted order, a stopped job, or worse, a blade that mounts but was never designed for the material you are cutting. See our complete pipe saw model comparison if you are still deciding between machines.
This page answers “which blade fits my pipe saw” for every current PipeCut model. Two measurements govern every decision, and the compatibility chart below maps them for the full range.
Two Measurements Must Match, Not One
Most people check blade diameter and stop there. That is the first mistake.
Every PipeCut blade has two critical dimensions:
- Outer diameter (for example, 140 mm, 165 mm, 180 mm, or 190 mm): this determines the cutting depth the machine can reach.
- Mounting bore: the central hole that fits over the machine’s arbor. A blade with the correct outer diameter but the wrong bore will not seat correctly on the spindle.
Both figures must match what your machine’s Technical Specifications publish. Understanding what each blade family is made for helps you narrow the choice before you check dimensions. Confirm the blade diameter and mounting bore from your machine manual before you order. You can find manuals and spare parts drawings for current models and manuals for older models in the support section.
PipeCut Blade Diameter Compatibility Chart
The table below is built from each machine’s published Technical Specifications. Where a value is not published on the product page, the cell is left blank. Always confirm against your machine manual before ordering, and check our full compatibility and cutting depth charts as the reference before placing any order.

Reading Compatibility from Your Own Machine
Your machine tells you what it accepts. You do not need to guess.
Check these three sources in order:
- The machine’s rating plate or serial label, which often carries the blade diameter.
- The Technical Specifications section of your model’s product page.
- The machine manual, which lists the accepted blade diameters and the mounting bore together.
The manuals and spare parts drawings for current models are the authoritative source. If your machine is an older model, use the manuals for older models section instead.
Note for the PipeCut 360 Pro Series 2.0: this machine’s specifications differ by supply voltage. The product page publishes both figures and labels them by voltage. Match the spec to the voltage your machine runs on.
Model-Specific Exceptions in Blade Compatibility
Cermet V155 and the PipeCut V800E
The Cermet V155 blade is designed exclusively for the PipeCut V800E. Do not fit it to any other model in the range. The V800E’s geometry and drive system are matched to this blade’s specific dimensions and tooth geometry.
TCT P Plastics Blades
The TCT P series blades are designed for cutting plastic pipe materials. They are compatible with the plastics-oriented PipeCut models and with any metal-cutting machine that explicitly lists plastic pipe in its published material compatibility. Do not assume a metal-cutting machine accepts a plastics blade without checking its published specifications.
Cut and Bevel Blades and the Pro Series and Infinity Package
The Cut and Bevel package for Pro Series and Infinity is supported by the PipeCut 360 Pro Series 2.0, the PipeCut 460 Pro Series 2.0, and the PipeCut Infinity 2.0. These discs are intended for cast iron and ductile iron cutting and beveling. They are not listed for other models in the range.
What Happens If You Fit the Wrong Blade
There are three distinct scenarios, and each has a different consequence.
A blade that will not mount. If the mounting bore does not match the machine’s arbor, the blade will not seat. This is the easiest outcome to identify and the safest, because the error is immediately visible before the machine runs.
A blade that mounts but is not rated for the material. A blade designed for plastic pipe fitted to a steel-cutting job, or vice versa, will not cut cleanly. The blade wears faster than its rated life, cut quality drops, and the finished end may not be suitable for joining.
A blade the machine is not rated for. Fitting a blade outside the diameter range published for your machine changes the operating geometry the machine was designed around. Follow the machine manual for the correct fitting procedure and accepted blade specifications. Do not operate the machine with a blade outside its published range.
In all cases, the machine manual is the reference for correct fitting. Refer to it before mounting any blade.
Ordering the Correct Replacement Blade
Replacing a pipe saw blade correctly takes five steps. Follow them in order to avoid ordering errors.
- Identify your machine model and product number. The model name and product number appear on the machine’s rating plate. Write them down before you search for a blade.
- Confirm the blade diameter and saw blade mounting bore from the manual. Open the manual for your specific model and locate the Technical Specifications. Note both the accepted outer diameter and the mounting bore.
- Confirm the pipe material you are cutting. Steel, stainless steel, copper, cast iron, plastic, and multilayer pipe each have blade families matched to them. The wrong blade family for the material reduces blade life and cut quality.
- Select the correct blade family. Match the blade family to your machine’s accepted diameters, mounting bore, and the pipe material. If your machine accepts 140 mm blades, review the guidance on choosing between the 140 mm options before selecting a product code. Browse the full blade and disc range to identify the right product code.
- Order through a distributor. Place the order with your local distributor, quoting the machine model, product number, blade diameter, and blade product code. Your distributor can confirm availability and lead time.
