Automatic pipe beveling offers a number of advantages of hand beveling, including: - No more hand-grinding or torching of weld bevels - Automated pipe beveling machines are many times faster than portable units - Cycle normally in the 5-20 second range - Safer than hand grinding - Accurately machines weld bevel and faces pipe square - Sturdy construction and quality materials for years of dependable service - Pipe beveling machines have low operating costs MSI offers four models of the  ChamferMate line including [The ChamferMate® Model C3A](http://www.msi-tx.com/chamfering-machines/c3a-chamfermate/), [The ChamferMate® Model C5A](http://www.msi-tx.com/chamfering-machines/c5a-chamfermate/), [The ChamferMate® Model C5H](http://www.msi-tx.com/chamfering-machines/c5h-chamfermate/), and [The ChamferMate® Model C8H](http://www.msi-tx.com/pipe-beveling-machines/c8h-chamfermate/). Each model offers various advantages and is best suited to particular environments or applications. However, generally our **chamfering machines** and **pipe beveling machines** offer: - Machines available for ½" up to 8" pipe or tubing - Adjustable cutter head quickly set with gauges - Uses standard off-the-shelf carbide inserts. Tooling available for custom angles and J-bevels - Interchangeable grips for different size pipe or tubing - Electronic variable-speed drive - Heavy-duty spindle that rides on machine tool-type linear ball rails - Totally enclosed cutting area - Large chip drawer [MSI](http://www.msi-tx.com/) is located in Beaumont, TX and builds [chamfering and pipe beveling machines](http://www.msi-tx.com/chamfering-beveling-machines/), [marking equipment](http://www.msi-tx.com/marking-machines/), [bar shears](http://www.msi-tx.com/hydraulic-bar-shears/), [nut assembly tables](http://www.msi-tx.com/nut-assembly/), [cylindrical parts feeders](http://www.msi-tx.com/cylindrical-parts-feeders/), [bolt cross drills](http://www.msi-tx.com/bolt-cross-drills/), and [bolt shortening tools](http://www.msi-tx.com/bolt-shortening-tools/) and services an international customer base in a variety of industries.
