Swagelok MS‑TC‑308 Tube Cutter – 3/16″ to 1″ Stainless Steel Cutter

The Swagelok MS‑TC‑308 is the industry’s benchmark for cutting hard‑wall stainless steel, carbon steel, and heavy‑wall alloys. Engineered to slice cleanly through 316 stainless steel, it eliminates the common “threading” or spiraling that plagues generic copper tube cutters, ensuring a sharp, flare‑free cut every time.

Its precision‑feed handle offers 1/8‑turn increments, allowing operators to apply the exact pressure needed to cut without work‑hardening the tube end. This guarantees a proper seal with compression fittings and reduces the need for additional deburring. The cutter’s specialized wheel geometry and rollers minimize flare‑out, making ferrule seating reliable and fast.

Built for rugged use, the MS‑TC‑308 features a heavy‑duty die‑cast body and hardened steel components that withstand daily field service. A pre‑installed high‑performance cutting wheel (MS‑TCW‑308) is tested for extended life on hard alloys, providing consistent performance over time. Its wide capacity range—from 3/16‑inch (6 mm) to 1‑inch (25 mm) OD tubing—covers a broad spectrum of instrumentation, hydraulic, and pneumatic applications in industrial settings.
