Adapted cutter, driven by a hand-held, variable-speed power drill, is used in the field to cut J-bevels on the ends of stainless-steel or aluminum pipe to be joined by precision welding. With this tool an acceptable bevel is cut within 3 percent of the time required for grinding and filing.
Single tool prepares a pipe end for precision welding by simultaneously performing internal machining, end facing, and bevel cutting to specification standards. The machining operation requires only one milling adjustment, can be performed quickly, and produces the high quality pipe-end configurations required to ensure precision-welded joints.
