Product overviewThe GA172 orbital beveling machine is engineered for precise, efficient tube weld preparation. Tube OD range: 1.3 – 6.625" / 33 – 173 mm. High-speed milling heads with carbide inserts remove material up to 10× faster than HSS, delivering smooth, accurate bevels. The patented lubricant-free process eliminates pre-weld tube cleaning, reducing cycle time and improving productivity. Built on the GA frame shared with AXXAIR CC orbital cutting machines, the unit can be converted to a cutting or welding machine via conversion kits.
Key features- Stainless-steel concentric clamping system with multiple contact points to expand beveling range and prevent tube distortion; stainless-steel jaws protect tube surfaces from contamination.
- Distinct rotation wheel for smooth rotation, extending carbide insert life and improving bevel quality.
- Optional automatic rotation and clamping system for higher repeatability and productivity.
- High-speed carbide inserts for up to 10× faster material removal vs HSS; available in V-bevels (30° / 37.5° / 45°) and J-bevel (10°).
- Spring-loaded penetration lever and tracking system engage the saw blade for consistent, low-effort beveling, improving operator safety and insert life.
- Lubricant-free patented process removes need for tube cleaning before welding.
