To operate you just open the pipe clamps and carriage, install the pipe
centering your pre-measured length mark, close and latch the pipe
clamps, close and latch the carriage clamps, start and lower the cutter
then start the rotation. Once the cutter has rotated 365 degrees it will
stop. Then you activate the reverse rotation until the carriage stops at
the home position. You then activate the cutter raising switch and turn
off the cutter Once these steps are complete you then open the carriage,
the pipe clamps and remove the pipe pieces with an accurately cut and
beveled finish. Depending on the length of the pipe you may have to use
the pipe supports. The operation of this tool is primarily done while the
operator is in a standing position working at waist level.
Some of the benefits this tool will provide are:
• More accurate and consistent cutting & beveling
• Reduced labor costs
• Reduction in man hours training people
• Safer operating v/s current cutting & beveling
practices
• Reduction in wasted pipe
