Description
Replacement Cutter Wheels for Plastic Pipe | Tool Steel, Thin Edge, Heat-Treated | Fits Reed Quick Release Cutters
Product Overview
Worn cutter wheels leave heavy burrs, crack plastic pipe, and turn a quick cut into a slow fight with the material. Reed cutter wheels for plastic pipe are made from high shock-resistant tool steel, not the carbon steel found in most competitor wheels. The thinner cutting edge slices through PVC, CPVC, PE, PEX, ABS, and PP with less effort and a cleaner finish.
Key Features
- High shock-resistant tool steel construction. Reed cutter wheels use tool steel instead of the carbon steel found in competitor wheels, supporting a thinner cutting edge that requires less force and leaves less burr on plastic pipe.
- Heat-treated for balanced hardness and toughness. Each wheel is heat-treated so the edge stays sharp for clean cuts while resisting the chipping and breakage that ruins cheaper wheels mid-job.
- Thin profile cutting edge for less burr. The thinner edge slices through PVC and CPVC with less deformation, leaving a cleaner cut face that needs less deburring before solvent welding or mechanical coupling.
- Six variants for different plastic types and wall thicknesses. Each PVC pipe cutter wheel variant is matched to specific pipe materials and Reed cutter models, from standard wall PVC to thick wall PE.
- Convenient 2-pack format. Each pack of Reed 2-pack cutter wheels includes two replacement wheels, so crews always have a spare on the truck without a separate parts run.
- Fits Reed Quick Release tubing cutters. These cutter wheels for plastic pipe work with TC1Q through TC8Q and T-series cutters. Reed Quick Release cutters use a ball detent wheel pin, so changing a worn wheel takes seconds in the field.

Applications
The most common plastic pipe cutter wheel replacement on plumbing trucks is for PVC and CPVC. The 2PK-1-2PVC handles standard wall PVC, CPVC, and PVDF on smaller cutters (TC1Q, TC1.6Q, TC2Q). For 3-inch to 6-inch PVC and 4-inch heavy wall CPVC on mid-range cutters, the 2PK-3-6PVC fits the TC3Q through TC6Q. The 2PK-680PVC covers standard and heavy wall PVC on the larger TC6Q and TC8Q.
Reed cutter wheels handle PE and PEX pipe across several variants. The 2PK-OP2 is the primary set of cutter wheels for PEX pipe, PE, PP, and PEX/AL/PEX composite tubing on smaller cutters (TC1Q, TC1.6Q, TC2Q, T10, T15, T20). For ABS, PE, and PP on mid-range cutters, the 2PK-30-40P fits the TC3Q through TC6Q. Thick wall PE gets its own variant, the 2PK-6QP, which fits the TC3Q through TC8Q.
These are replacement cutter wheels for tubing cutter bodies in the Reed Quick Release lineup. See the full Reed Quick Release Cutters collection for the cutter bodies, including the Reed TC4Q Quick Release Cutter for 1-7/8" to 4-1/2" capacity cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cutter wheel for PVC pipe should I use?
The 2PK-1-2PVC is the standard PVC pipe cutter wheel for TC1Q, TC1.6Q, and TC2Q cutters. For 3-inch to 6-inch PVC and heavy wall CPVC, use the 2PK-3-6PVC on TC3Q through TC6Q cutters. The 2PK-680PVC handles standard and heavy wall PVC on TC6Q and TC8Q cutters.
Reed cutter wheel compatibility: which wheel fits which cutter?
These Reed 2-pack cutter wheels fit the TC1Q, TC1.6Q, TC2Q, TC3Q, TC4Q, TC5Q, TC6Q, TC8Q, T10, T15, and T20 Quick Release cutters. Each variant fits a specific set of cutter models. Check the compatibility table above to match your cutter to the correct wheel.
How do you replace a cutter wheel on a pipe cutter?
Pull the ball detent pin from the cutter body axle, slide the old wheel off, and slide the new wheel on. Press the pin back in to lock the wheel. No tools needed. The entire swap takes less than a minute in the field.
What makes Reed the best cutter wheels for plastic pipe?
Reed cutter wheels use high shock-resistant tool steel, which allows a thinner cutting edge than carbon steel competitors. The thinner edge produces less burr and requires less force on plastic pipe. Each wheel is heat-treated for balanced hardness and toughness, so it lasts longer and resists breakage.
What is the difference between Reed plastic cutter wheels?
Each variant is matched to specific pipe materials and wall thicknesses. The 2PK-OP2 and 2PK-1-2PVC fit smaller cutters for PE, PEX, PVC, and CPVC. The 2PK-30-40P, 2PK-3-6PVC, 2PK-680PVC, and 2PK-6QP fit larger cutters for heavier-wall plastic pipe.
