The guillotined cutting process for the pipe was studied in this paper. Until now guillotining mechanism can not be practically applied in the industries because of the deformation of sheared section around cutting area, the coarse sheared surface, and the burs. To find optimum shapes of blade, several types of blade were experimentally studied. The cutting force normal to the axial direction of the pipe was compared with the theoretical result based on the cutting energy. The experimental maximum cutting forces were very good agreement with the theoretical results. It also discussed that the design parameters of guillotining system such as the blade shape and the clearance between the blade and the die made effects to the deformation of the cutting cross section area. The results show that the guillotining method can be applicable to the pipe cutting system by optimizing the blade shape and the clearance between the blade and the die of the guillotined cutting system with respect to the sheared pipe material.
