My tube cutter won't cut

My cutter spins it releases and locks like it is suppose to but it will not cut. When I place the tool around a pipe it slips around as to grab the pipe again like it is designed to do but instead of grabbing the pipe securely and bringing the two carriage pieces together when the tool starts to rotate the two pieces move further apart from one another

Mate sounds like the gear box is gone
If it's still under warranty take it back
If it's not get a normal brand non battery type you never go wrong

    No the gear driven parts of the cutter are fine, the tool does everything it's suppose to but cut, upon understanding the tool better I believe the problem is with the way the two arms (one holds the cutting wheel and the other the rollers) inside the spinner. when the tool spins it's designed to bring the two arms together mine pulls them apart preventing the cutting wheel to push against the pipe being cut

How to Use a Pipe Cutter?

Pipe cutters are really useful tools that can be used in the house to cut pipes that are made from metal or plastic. You could always try using a saw of some kind but pipe cutters will give you a much straighter edge.

Here are some basic instructions to help you successfully use a pipe cutter.

1. Decide exactly where on the pipe you would like to make a cut.
2. Loosen the handle on the pipe cutter and place it around the pipe.
3. Now tighten the cutter until the blade is in contact with the pipe.
4. Turn the pipe cutter a few turns around the pipe and it will score a line into the pipe.
5. Keep turning the pipe cutter around until you've cut the pipe off.
6. In order to create a nice straight edge inside the cut pipe you need to take the bottom blade out of the pipe cutter.
7. Place it into the cut end of the pipe and turn it around a few times until it's nice and smooth.

Locked in blade
My old Cuisinart has this problem because the motor shaft and the corresponding socket on the cutter are worn. The shaft has jammed in the cutter. To un-jam it, stick a bar of wood behind one blade of the cutter (I use the wood handle of my dough whisk) and give it a light, sharp tap with a hammer. Check after every tap to see if it is loose, if not do it again. You want to tap against the back side of the cutter, not the cutting edge side. The socket on your cutter may be cracked, allowing it to open up and slip (and jam) under the stress of cutting. You'll probably need a new one. If the motor shaft is also worn, that can also be replaced. The new part is about $10. I got a few more months of life from my cutter by reinforcing the inner socket with a thin plastic tube from the barrel of a syringe.

if you can't get a replacement fuel line, try the junk yard. you will need a tubing cutter small enough to cut the line off the area near the filter, but you need to go to autozone or napa and buy the release tool for the fitting. its not expensive. once you do that, you can splice the one you cut to the existing one. just cut it with the tubing cutter and use the right size fuel line and some hose clamps to make the repair.

Pipe cutter is crushing the asbestoes cement pipe
I think you are supposed to rotate the cutter around the pipe. If this is so then use a small amount of pressure and then rotate, repeat until pipe is cut.
The cutters could be blunt in which case they must be replaced.
