On-Site Metal Cut & Demo Service
Offer a mobile service to cut out old galvanized pipe, EMT, conduit, and metal studs during renovations. The breakaway blades enable quick length changes for tight cavities and flush cuts, reducing blade swaps. Charge hourly or per linear foot; upsell debris hauling and safe cap/cover services for exposed edges.
Custom Cut-To-Length Pipe/Conduit
Set up a pop-up or mobile service for DIYers, electricians, and makers to order EMT, copper, or galvanized pipe cut to exact lengths. Use the 9" to 6" breakaway option for fast production and consistent cuts, deburr, and bundle by project. Offer per-cut pricing and volume discounts, plus delivery to job sites.
Industrial-Chic Furniture Line
Produce and sell made-to-order shelves, clothing racks, and plant stands built from metal studs and pipe. The thicker, durable blades keep production efficient; breakaway sections help with clean, flush final trims during assembly and installation. Market to cafes, boutiques, and home stagers; offer on-site fit adjustments.
MEP Trim-Out Support Crew
Partner with electricians and plumbers to handle last-mile trimming: cutting studs for box openings, resizing conduit, trimming copper stubs, and flush-cutting fasteners. A single blade set covers varied metals, while breakaway lengths excel in tight utility chases. Bill as day-rate support with SLA-based response times.
Content + Affiliate Microbrand
Create short-form videos teaching metal cutting tips, breakaway blade hacks, and project builds (shelves, lamps, racks). Compare cut quality on EMT vs. copper using the 14/18 TPI blades. Monetize with affiliate links, sponsorships, downloadable cut lists, and paid workshops where attendees get a blade from the ToughCase.
Creative
Conduit Cage Lamp
Build an industrial cage lamp using EMT conduit and copper pipe accents. Use the 9" blades (break to 6") to rough-cut conduit to length, then switch to the 6" blade broken to 4" for tight, controlled cuts near fittings and for trimming small pieces. The 14/18 TPI pattern keeps cuts clean on thin-walled EMT and copper, and the thicker blade body resists chatter for straight miters on the cage rings.
Industrial Pipe Shelving
Create wall-mounted shelves with galvanized pipe supports and hidden brackets made from metal studs. Cut threaded pipe to precise spans with the 9"/6" sections, then fabricate low-profile L-brackets by cutting and folding metal studs. The breakaway feature lets you swap to a shorter blade for close-to-wall trimming without changing to a different blade type, speeding layout tweaks on-site.
Copper and Conduit Wind Chimes
Craft musical wind chimes from varying lengths of copper pipe and EMT for different tones. The variable 14/18 TPI teeth reduce grabbing on thin metals, giving cleaner ends. Use the 6" blade broken to 4" for fast repetitive cuts to consistent lengths; finish by drilling hang holes and assembling with wire or cord.
Modular Garage Tool Rack
Build a customizable wall rack using metal studs as rails and short sections of galvanized pipe as tool pegs. Rip and notch studs to form channels, then cut pipe pegs to length. The thick-kerf blades hold straight lines on the studs, and the breakaway sections let you do flush trimming of peg ends after installation.
Scrap Metal Mosaic Wall Art
Upcycle offcuts of EMT, copper, and metal studs into geometric mosaic panels. Slice strips and tiles with the 6" blade, then switch to the 4" breakaway for detail pieces and tight inside corners. The durable blade body handles lots of repetitive cuts without deflecting, producing crisp edges for tight inlays.
