Well I would guess any pipe cutter will cut tubing that it can fit over.  A 
tubing cutter is built lighter in duty the adjusting screw is usually a knob, 
while the pipe cutter usually has a t handle for more leverage.  Tubing cutters 
usually have a aluminum frame while the pipe cutter is likely cast iron.  You 
can propably cut pipe with a tubing cutter but would have to go slower in terms 
of depth of cut each round .  They make a very short tubing cutter for small 
work areas that doesn't have a handle and I think only set of rollars and I 
think max. capacity is barely half an inch..   Most tubing cutters don't have 
the capacity that pipe cutters do.  Gues what I am saying is that they are very 
much the same one is just heavier and bigger.

  If a tubing cutter says it will cut through stainless steel, does that mean 
  it will also cut through the black pipe?
