Clamshell pipe machining tools built for machining 2 to 48-in. tube, pipe on job site

H&S Tool has introduced the AFC line of clamshell pipe machining tools. The 10 models in the series have been designed and built for machining tubes and pipes from 2 to 48 in. on the job site. The split-frame design sets up in the middle of a pipe section to sever and bevel as it does on the end.

The tools have a patent-pending safety tripper mechanism, a positive motor-mounting design that eliminates motor twisting, a large bearing in the motor housing to extend the drive motor gear life, and a patent-pending bearing design that helps reduce chatter. The machines also have a 3/4-in. adjustment on the locator pads to reduce the number of extensions required to achieve the coverage range.

The machines are powered by pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic motors. The motors can be swapped on the frame without additional adapters.
