I need to cut about 30 oieces of 4 and/or 6 inch PVC pipe, all to the excat same length, with clean straight ends. Each piece would be about 12 inches long. Is there a blade that I can get for my arbor saw that will do this?

The blades used for cutting metal should work, as well as a HIGH tooth plywood blade (at least 80 teeth), but I'd go for the metal cutting blade first.

I use any blade I have in my band saw at the time. To cut PVC shc 40 and 80. Just feed it slower . Works for me.

Be sure to wear safety glasses. I have cut smaller PVC with a compound miter saw and those chips HURT. Also, make sure you have a firm grip on the pipe. If a tooth hangs up it won't be pretty. Good luck.
