(GCF) located in Beaumont, TX is an 80,000+ s/f pipe fabrication facility that has been in operation since 1994 and employs over 135 employees. GCF specializing in all types of carbon steels and alloy fabrication for the petro-chemical and power generation markets and has ships spools through-out the USA and some international. GCF uses both the [C5A](https://l.msi-tx.com/chamfering-machines/c5a-chamfermate/) and [C8H Chamfermate](https://l.msi-tx.com/pipe-beveling-machines/c8h-chamfermate/) from [MSI](https://l.msi-tx.com/) in its cutting bay for putting a machine bevels on pipe lengths that will be welded-out with the GTAW (TIG) welding process. In the past theses pipes were cut using either oxygen/acetylene or plasma torches and required additional grinding for clean-up and squaring to give a uniform bevel prep. Louis Falgout, Gulf Coast Fabricators, LLC Vice President , says “using the [Chamfermate for pipe beveling](https://l.msi-tx.com/video-library/chamfering-bevel-machines/) eliminates hand grinding which saves us a ton of time and speeds up our fabrication process, not to mention also the safety factor in the reduction of injuries. These pipe beveling machines give us a clean and precise bevel and eliminates any issues down the line from the fabricator to the welder. "MSI is very responsive to our requests and questions and the machines are extremely durable and consistent so we do not have to worry about downtime or consistency." state Mr. Falgout.
