Watch the versatile SKF-150L bevel both pipes and plates with quick changeover
Overview
The SKF-150L Capless Beveler solves a fundamental problem: traditional pipe beveling machines have maximum diameter limits dictated by their clamping mechanism. The SKF-150L doesn’t clamp around the pipe—it rides along the edge, making pipe diameter irrelevant. From 114mm OD to massive storage tanks, plus flat and curved plates, one machine does it all.
Key Advantages
- No diameter limit - Works on any pipe from 114mm OD to unlimited size
- Dual purpose - Bevels both pipes and plates with one machine
- Self-propelled - Automatic travel along workpiece edge
- Portable - Only 35kg, easily transported to any job site
The “Capless” Concept
Traditional machines clamp around the pipe, limiting maximum diameter to the ring size. The SKF-150L rides on the surface with guide rollers—no ring, no limit. The machine simply follows the edge regardless of diameter.
