B-500 Transportable Pipe Beveller

The RIDGID B-500-30 (55088) Portable Pipe Beveller with 30 Degree Cutter Head, 4 in. and Larger Pipe Capacity, 115V, is used for bevelling most steel and stainless steel pipe ends and plate edges on material up to 0.5″ (13 mm) thick in preparation for welding. Conical cutter heads with replaceable cutter inserts are driven by a motor/gearbox to produce 30°, 37.5°, or 45° bevels (only the 30° cutter head is included).

The B-500 forms the bevel in a single pass without the need of any further dressing; no coolant or cutting oil is used. Land width can be adjusted in approximately 1/32″ (0.8 mm) increments from 0 to 0.188″ (0 to 4.8 mm). The beveller securely grips the work piece between guide rolls and a drive roll. A detachable hand crank is included to manually move the cutter head through the material being bevelled. Indicator lights on the machine provide feedback on proper cranking speed. The frame helps protect the motor/gearbox and aids in beveller handling.
