Watch the GL Series self-propelled beveler travel along plate edges for consistent results
Overview
The GL Plate Beveler Series offers compact, self-propelled plate edge milling for workshops requiring reliable beveling without the weight of industrial-class machines. At 220-250kg, these units balance portability with cutting stability for plates from 6mm to 80mm thick.
Key Advantages
- Compact footprint — 220-250kg units fit workshop spaces where larger machines cannot
- Single & dual spindle options — GL-880’s twin cutters double productivity on thick plates
- Cold milling — No heat-affected zone, preserves material properties
- Multiple groove shapes — K, V, U, Y profiles from standard tooling
- Adjustable speed — Match 0-1500 r/min spindle to material characteristics
Model Comparison
| Model | Thickness | Angle | Power | Weight | Spindle | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GL-860 | 6-40mm | 10-60° | 3.4kW | 250kg | Single | Standard workshop |
| GL-860L | 8-60mm | 10-60° | 3.4kW | 220kg | Single | Lighter, wider range |
| GL-880 | 6-80mm | 0-60° | 6.4kW | 250kg | Dual | Thick plates, wide bevels |
Why Choose GL Series?
Choose GL when you need:
- Workshop-friendly weight under 250kg
- Single-operator positioning
- Reliable edge prep for structural and vessel work
- Cost-effective solution for moderate production volumes
Consider DMM Series instead for:
- Plates over 80mm thick
- Continuous high-volume production
- Maximum travel speed requirements
Operating Notes
- Feed Speed Selection — Start at lower speeds (150-250 mm/min), increase as the cut stabilizes
- Material Considerations — Reduce speed for stainless steel and hardened materials
- Cutter Maintenance — Inspect blade edges before each shift; replace at first sign of chipping
- Minimum Plate Size — Ensure workpiece meets minimum length/width requirements for stable clamping
Customization Options
- Bevel Angle — Custom cutter angles manufactured to specification
- Voltage — 380V/440V standard, other configurations available
- Blade Configuration — Carbide inserts optimized for specific materials
