A flange cutter used to cut excessive flange. For example to make a timer casing (made out of plastic) there are some excessive bits of plastic that look messy, untidy and are completelyunnecessary We use a flange cutter to cut the excess off. The flange cutter itself is a a smallish machine that looks like a flat, small, polished table with something sticking out of the middle. The thing sticking out of the middle is the cutter. There is a medium-sized blade that is usually very sharp and the most dangerous bit. When switched on, the blade will turn at a high speed and protective gloves can be worn as a safety precaution, but once confident, it is not entirely necessary. To cut the untidy bottom off of the time casing, you simply place the casing next to blade (carefully and steadily) and pull/drag it from one side to another. Most people found it easier to pull it from right to left, but it all depends on how you feel sturdiest. We took EXTREME CARE not to cut the corners off as this can have been dangerous and bad for the timer casing. The cutting was smooth and if there were still any rough bits we just sanded it off with a bit of sandpaper and cut the corners off using a type of saw that cut plastic. The flange cutter is a useful tool/machine and safe to use when being used in the right way. I hope this information was useful, LB82 CCHS

How do you repair toilet bowl mounting flange?
depending on your type of flange and pipe and the damage of the flange, if you have a PVC flange with just the bolt slots busted then you can screw in new bolts to the floor below the flange and still use the flange but if its broken where the wax seal sits then if your flange is lower then the floor you can use a insert flange that fits inside your old toilet flange with thin walls to keep the pipe size maximum. To replace the entire flange can be a job especially if its in concrete or in a floor joist because most of the time you have no room and if its cast iron pipe it can be even more of headache but in order to replace the flange you need to cut it out to where you can reconnect the pipe and flange by using a fernco or a no hub band. Sometimes it is impossible to replace because the flange can be on all close fittings and you pretty much have to replace most of the plumbing drain pipe to replace it properly which is why you want to try repairing your toilet flange rather then replacing it .
