Description

The RIDGID 59698 286 Soil Pipe Cutter is a chain-type pipe cutter built for plumbers and contractors who need clean, repeatable cuts on soil pipe. It handles standard capacity from 1-1/2 in. to 6 in. and maximum capacity up to 8 in., cutting clay pipe, no-hub cast iron, and service weight cast iron in a single stroke.

RIDGID 286 Soil Pipe Cutter (Model 59698)

The 286's articulating, outward-facing hooks make it easier to connect the cutter around the pipe. You can set the handles to the optimal cutting angle with the adjusting knob, then repeat cuts on the same pipe size without re-adjusting. This saves time on long runs where you need multiple cuts at the same length.

RIDGID 59698 cutting chain and replacement

Like all chain cutters, the RIDGID 286 uses a cutting chain that wears over time. When the chain dulls or breaks, replacing it with a new RIDGID 286 soil pipe cutter chain returns the tool to full performance. Keep a spare cutting chain in your truck for long jobs—chain replacement is a simple procedure that keeps the 59698 in service without needing a new cutter.

Adjusting the RIDGID 286 pipe cutter

Use the adjusting knob to fine-tune the handle angle before making a cut. A comfortable grip and proper alignment put more cutting force on the chain and produce cleaner cuts. The outward-facing hooks also help square the cutter to the pipe, reducing walking and binding.

Who is this soil pipe cutter for?

Master plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance crews working with cast iron or clay soil pipe will appreciate the speed and consistency of the RIDGID 59698. It is designed for professional jobsite use and repeated operation.

Product Details

Why Professional Plumbers Choose the RIDGID 286

The chain-style cutter produces less dust and no sparks compared to a grinder, and it works in tight trench conditions where a saw won't fit. A single-stroke cut on up to 6-inch soil pipe makes quick work of rough-in and repair jobs.

Replacing the Chain: What to Know

Keep the cutting chain free of debris and replace it when you notice slower cuts or rounded teeth. Always confirm you have the correct RIDGID 286 replacement chain for your model 59698 before ordering.

Adjusting Your Cutter for Smooth Operation

The adjusting knob is your main control for handle angle and chain tension. Set the angle for a natural wrist position, then lock it down. A well-adjusted cutter reduces hand fatigue and keeps cuts square.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I replace the cutting chain on my RIDGID 286 soil pipe cutter?

Remove the old chain from the cutter head, inspect the rollers and pins, then install a RIDGID 286 replacement chain following the cutter's manual. Make sure the chain is properly seated on the guide wheels and locked before use.

How do I adjust the RIDGID 59698 cutter for a different pipe size?

Use the adjusting knob to open or close the chain around the pipe. Once the chain wraps evenly around the pipe and the handles feel comfortable, tighten the knob and make the cut.

Can this cutter handle 8-inch pipe?

Standard capacity is 1-1/2 to 6 inches; maximum capacity extends to 8 inches, but you may need to adjust the chain and apply more strokes for larger pipe.

Is the 286 the right cutter for PVC or ABS pipe?

No. The 286 is designed for clay and cast iron soil pipe. Use a plastic pipe cutter or saw for PVC/ABS.

Does the 59698 come with a replacement chain?

The cutter comes assembled; a replacement chain is sold separately as a wear item.

Great pipe cutter

I've used this on cast iron and it cuts in one stroke. The hook mechanism grips well. No issues.

Professional grade

I've been a plumber for 25 years and have used many pipe cutters. This one is by far the easiest. The articulating hooks wrap around the pipe nicely and the single-stroke cut is quick. I especially like the angle adjustment knob – it allows me to get into tight spots. It's heavy and solid, as expected. I've already cut dozens of pipes with it and it hasn't dulled. Definitely a five-star tool.

Good but stiff

It works well, but the adjustment knob is a bit stiff at first. After some use, it loosened up. Overall, good cutter.

Hard to use on clay

It cuts clay pipe, but it takes a lot of force. I had to make multiple passes. Maybe I'm not used to it.

I'm a contractor and this thing is a beast. It cut through a 6-inch clay pipe in one shot. The handle gives great leverage. My back appreciates not having to fight the pipe. Great investment.

Even I could use it. Cut through cast iron easily. Wish I had bought this years ago.

Good cutter

It does its job. The hooks can be a little tricky to set on the pipe, but once it's set, it cuts well.

Quality tool

I've used this on multiple jobs. It's exactly what you'd expect from RIDGID – tough and reliable. The cuts are always clean and square. It handles 4-inch pipe with no problem. Definitely recommend.

I used this to cut a cast iron pipe in my basement. It was so easy. The handle is comfortable. I didn't need to call a plumber.

Good but takes muscle

It works, but you need some strength to get the cut started. Once it bites, it's fine.
