POWERFUL PRECISE MACHINING PERFORMANCE
Up to 3 hp pneumatic motor provides more power and speed resulting in higher metal removal rates to get the job done fast.

Optimized drive reduction provides the speed range required to use carbide or HSS tooling, for added flexibility and performance.

Infinitely variable feed rates from 0.001-0.032 inch/rev (0.025 – 0.813 mm/rev) allows operational flexibility for higher metal removal and variable surface finish requirements.

Multiple feed trippers to actuate the adjustable feed unit. This allows aggressive feed rates for maximum metal removal as needed.

VERSATILITY AND EASE OF USE
Select from 10 models sized to machine flanges up to 30.5, 40.5, 50.5, 60.5, 70.5, 80.5, 90.5, 100.5, 110.5, or 120.5 inches (775, 1029, 1283, 1537, 1791, 2045, 2299, 2553, 2807, or 3061 mm) in diameter.

Tool head and tool bit rotate 360° independently to any angle allowing optimal tool bit positioning and flexibility to create a variety of cuts including chamfers, o-ring grooves, square shoulders, and other angled surfaces.

Back-facing attachment option provides even more flexibility in machining operations where there are bridge obstructions or when machining flanges on the back side of the pipe flange.
