Founded in 1984, Vanzetti Engineering is an Italian company that activates in the design and construction of cryogenic pumps for liquefied natural and air gases. Over the years, Vanzetti Engineering became a key contributor to the development and success of this industry.

Cutting pipes and tubes takes a big part of their working day, so Vanzetti Engineering needs tools they can always rely on. As the company was already familiar with the RIDGID 122 Cutting Machine, they wanted to test the new RIDGID PC 116 Powered Tubing Cutter as well.

 

“We mostly use the RIDGID PC 116 cutter on 3/8” -> 3” copper and stainless steel tube cutting jobs.

With this machine at hand, we also decided to create a dedicated cutting station and eliminate all the inaccurate electric saws we have been previously using. Now we experience increased productivity and safety on the job site.”
