🔍 Key Concepts

• Proper gasket fabrication tools versus general cutting tools • How precision and clean edges affect gasket sealing on flanges • Safety and control when cutting circular or ring-shaped gaskets

💭 Think About

• Which tool is specifically designed to make accurate circles or rings out of gasket material? • For a pipeline flange, do you need rough cutting or a controlled, adjustable cut to match bolt circle and inner/outer diameter? • Which option would most likely avoid ragged edges and ensure a tight seal under pressure?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a specialized tool for gaskets rather than a general cutting tool • Consider which tool can be adjusted to match different flange sizes • Think about which tool will give the cleanest, most accurate circular cut in gasket sheet material
