Does anyone know of a tubing cutter for pex or pvc where the blade is beveled on only one edge. Sometimes the cut is crooked but it seems like a single bevel blade would alleviate that problem.

Would any of these cutters fit your needs?

Edit- go to the bottom of the page and click on the cutters, and a whole page of different cutters will show up.

This wirsbo tubing cutter works well on pex and PVC. it makes nice square cuts on up to 3/4". On tubing 1" -1.5" I like the ridgid scissor cutters. I've never been a fan of ratcheting cutters for plastic.
