Operating a PTFE Tube Cutting Guide Safely and Effectively. PTFE tubes are relatively simple to work with when cutting them by hand, but there's still a right way and a wrong way to do it. The first step in working with these delicate pipes is to protect your hands and the surrounding area from damage. You'll want to wear gloves and goggles to safeguard yourself against any potential accidents or spills that might occur during the process. Once you're properly prepared, place the PTFE tube on a flat surface in front of you. Hold the cutting tool firmly in one hand and position it carefully along the length of the pipe where you'd like to make your cut. Next, gently but firmly press down on the tool, moving it slowly through the material until you reach the desired point. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this could cause the tube to tear or become damaged in some way. Once you've made your cut, inspect the area carefully to ensure that everything looks good and there are no signs of damage or stress points that might compromise the integrity of the pipe. If necessary, use a file or other abrasive tool to smooth out any rough edges or burrs that may have developed during the cutting process. This will help prevent any potential issues from arising later on down the line when using the pipe for its intended purpose. Finally, take a step back and admire your handiwork - you've successfully cut through a PTFE tube with ease!
