Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Copper Tubing Prep Service
Offer on-site cutting and labeling of type K, L, and M copper from 1/4 in. to 1-1/4 in. for plumbers and HVACR techs. With up to 550 cuts per charge and sub-2-second cuts, you can knock out cut lists fast in tight spaces using the pivoting head and LED. Add deburring/reaming and bagged, labeled bundles as upsells.
Prefab Stub-Outs and Rough-In Kits
Produce pre-cut, ready-to-solder stub-outs, manifolds, and offsets to spec for builder packages. The auto-size adjust head lets you process mixed diameters without setup changes. Bundle kits by unit or bathroom count and use Tool Connect tagging for simple inventory and jobsite tracking.
Copper Decor Microbrand
Launch an online store offering copper shelves, plant trellises, pendant frames, and curtain hardware. The cordless cutter accelerates batching clean, repeatable cuts for small-run production. Market patina options and made-to-measure sizing; keep margins healthy by leveraging rapid cutting speed and low finishing time.
Selective Demo and Copper Recycling
Provide clean removal of legacy copper lines in remodels, cutting them into transport-ready sections on the spot without cords or sparks. Charge for safe removal and share in scrap value. The pivoting head and LED make under-sink and crawlspace cuts efficient, and the corrosion-resistant mechanism holds up in rough environments.
Contractor Tool-Plus-Operator Rental
Rent yourself and the cutter to small shops during high-volume repipes or apartment turnovers. Price per hour or per cut, include replacement cutting wheels, and track usage with Tool Connect. Emphasize speed, tight-space access, and predictable, square cuts that reduce rework for press/solder joints.
Creative
Modular Copper Shelf & Plant Stand
Cut 1/2 in. to 1 in. type L copper into repeatable lengths for frame uprights and crossbars, then assemble with tees and elbows to create minimalist shelving or a tiered plant stand. The auto-size adjust head speeds through mixed diameters without swapping parts, the LED helps mark cut lines in dim corners, and the pivoting head makes it easy to cut stock already dry-fit on the floor or near walls.
Geometric Copper Pendant Frames
Build polyhedron light frames from 3/8 in. to 1/2 in. tubing cut to precise equal lengths. The clean, square cuts reduce finishing time before soldering or using low-profile connectors. The variable speed trigger helps you ease into thin-walled soft copper without deforming it, and the LED keeps your measurements visible for consistent geometry.
Planter Drip Rings & Trellises
Create custom irrigation drip rings from 1/4 in. soft copper for pots, plus minimal trellises from 1/2 in. tubing. Fast, burr-free cuts make watertight assembly easier. The tool’s small head and pivot let you work right at the planter or bed edge without hauling material back and forth.
Tuned Copper Wind Chimes
Cut graduated lengths of 1/2 in. and 3/4 in. tubing to tune a set of chimes. Because the cutter delivers consistent, square ends in as little as 1.2 seconds per cut, you can iterate lengths quickly to dial in tones. Use the LED to read marks accurately at night or in a garage shop.
Custom Curtain Rods & Hardware
Make bespoke curtain rods from 3/4 in. to 1-1/4 in. copper with matching brackets and finials. The auto-size adjust head lets you jump between rod stock and smaller brace pieces, and the corrosion-resistant mechanism stands up to outdoor finishes if you’re making patio rods.
