Takes about one minute to make a clean cut through 3/4” EMT conduit. Blades last a long time so long as you stick to soft alloys and don’t try using it to cut a hardened steel shower curtain rod (ahem). On that note, Rigid brand cutter wheels (Model No. E-3469), available at Home Depot, are a perfect fit in this Brasscraft pipe cutter.

Works amazingly well but if you tighten a little too much like I did it will break or chip the blade and become very difficult to cut with
