What method of pipe beveling suits your application? Every method has advantages and disadvantages in the process of beveling pipe.
For example, a hand grinder is the cheapest BUT requires a skilled operator and takes a long time to produce a bevel. An Automated Stationary Pipe Beveling Machine is very fast and produces a consistent bevel but comes with a high initial cost.
Other methods fall in between. In choosing a pipe beveling method there are a number of factors that influence the decision including:
- Is portability for use in the field necessary?
- Is the application in a hazardous area?
- Can the pipe or tube be brought to the machine?
- What is the skill level of the operator?
- What size and wall thickness pipe needs to be beveled?
- How many pipes need to be beveled?
- What is the time available for each bevel?
- What is the finished quality required?
