Abstract
A cutting assembly for cutting tubing generally includes first and second arms pivotally coupled together such that the first arm can pivot relative to the second arm, and a blade releasably coupled to the first arm and/or the second arm and oriented such that a longitudinal axis of the blade is generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the first arm. The blade is removable from the first arm and/or the second arm by sliding the blade longitudinally in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the first arm. A release mechanism operates to selectively allow the blade to be removed from the first arm and/or the second arm.
