Choosing a Planetary Pipe Cutter Model
Our Planetary Cutting Series covers 5-330mm OD
1. Do you need beveling capability?
Yes, cutting + beveling → Choose Flex series (4.5, 6.5, 8.5, or 13.5). Prep weld-ready edges in one operation.
No, cutting only → Choose Metabo series. Lighter weight, lower cost.
2. What's your pipe size range?
Small tubes (5-78mm) → Metabo 3.0
Standard pipes (20-170mm) → Flex/Metabo 6.5
(most popular)
Large pipes (140-330mm) → Flex/Metabo 13.5
3. High volume production?
For repetitive cutting, consider the Automatic version with motorized rotation to reduce operator fatigue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between pipe cutting and beveling machines?
Cutting machines sever the pipe completely; beveling machines prepare the edge angle for welding. Many of our cutting machines can also add a bevel during the cut.
Can pipe cutters work on installed pipelines?
Yes, our clamshell and split-frame designs are specifically made for in-situ cutting on installed pipes where the pipe cannot be moved.
How do cold cutting machines differ from torch cutting?
Cold cutting uses mechanical methods that produce no heat-affected zone. This preserves material properties and eliminates fire hazards - essential for many industrial applications.
What pipe materials can be cut?
Our machines handle carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, chrome-moly, nickel alloys, and more. Tool selection varies by material hardness.
How accurate are the cuts?
Typical squareness is within 0.5mm across the cut face. Premium models achieve 0.25mm or better for critical fit-up requirements.
Is simultaneous cut and bevel possible?
Yes, most models accept combination tools that produce a beveled edge in the same operation as the cut, saving significant time.
