When used with short sections of the pipe and one
pipe stand, the pipe will be supported on the beveller
drive roll and the pipe stand (see Figure 12). When
used with longer pipes and multiple pipe stands, the

The set-up and tracking of the pipe to Beveller can be
confirmed prior to bevelling. Following the bevelling instruc-
tions, but without turning machine ON, tighten the clamp
screw hand tight plus 3/4 turn to grip the pipe. Insert the
hand crank and rotate to drive the pipe around. Pipe end
should stay flush to wear plates (Figure 15B) as pipe
rotates. If not, the set-up will need to be adjusted.

Bevelling

The B-500 Transportable Pipe Beveller can be used in
two configurations, either with the work piece fixed and the
beveller moving along it (Fixed Workpiece/Moving Beveller)
or with the beveller fixed on the Model TBM-36 Beveller
Adapter and the pipe moving relative to the beveller (Fixed
Beveller/Rotating Pipe) See Set-Up information for these
configurations.
Due to differing material characteristics, a test bevel should
always be performed before the first bevel of the day or
when changing material type, material thickness, bevel
angle or land width.
A label is provided on the beveller motor with basic oper-
ation information. The label steps follow the steps of this
section. This label is not a substitute for operator's manu-
al which contains all of the information for proper use.
