    As far as I know any good tubing cutter will work. I use the old Ridgid #20. Imperial makes good cutters as well.

    You may need two cutters to cover that range.

    It is worth buying the CSST cutters, they have nylon grooved wheels to get you a clean cut every time. I believe the cutting wheel is specific to stainless also.

    Gas Tite make one from 1/2-1" and one from?? to 2" Supply House .com.

    Track pipe says to buy a Ridgid 152 and buy the special cutter wheel from trac Pipe

    If you can't get a straight answer pick up the phone and call Ridgid.

    You used to be able to pick up the coversion kits when you took a CSST certification class. I think Rigid offered then. Two grooved rollers and a special cutting wheel.
