Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between ID-mount and OD-mount bevelers?

ID-mount bevelers clamp inside the pipe and are ideal when you have clear access to the pipe interior. OD-mount (clamshell) bevelers clamp around the outside and work on installed pipes where internal access isn't possible.

How often should cutting inserts be replaced?

Insert life varies by material—typically 200-500 bevels on carbon steel, less on stainless or hardened materials. Replace when you see chatter marks, rough finishes, or increased cutting forces.

Do you offer training for our operators?

Yes, we provide training videos with every machine and can arrange remote or on-site training sessions. Most operators become proficient within one day of hands-on practice.

What's your warranty coverage?

All Kedes machines come with a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. Wear parts like cutting inserts and clamping jaws are covered for 3 months.

Can you customize machines for specific applications?

Absolutely. We regularly modify bevel angles, clamping ranges, and tool configurations for specific project requirements. Contact our engineers to discuss your needs.
