Things You Will Need
It is generally recommended to use a hacksaw to cut chrome pipe rather than a pipe-cutter tool, due to the fact that the chrome will eventually damage the pipe-cutter blade.
-
Place the pipe in your vise and tighten down until it cannot move.
-
Make a mark on the pipe with your marker where you wish to cut the pipe.
-
Place the hacksaw against the mark and draw the blade all the way back while applying pressure against the pipe. This will make a cut notch in the pipe and will allow you to gain better purchase as you continue sawing.
-
Saw through the pipe with the hacksaw.
-
File down the burs on the pipe with your small file.
