Preferrably with a machine, and not an angle grinder :
Looking to bevel pipe about 1/4 inch thick, Carbon steel.
37.5 Degree angle to a point.
Or if anyone has anything useful that can bevel pipe for sale (those are expensive as hell)
My dad can bevel a few for me at his work, but I’m looking for a lot more than a few, and I don’t want to get him in trouble for machining stuff he isn’t supposed to be ;]
Oh, it’s pieces are about 5-6 inch tall, varies…
And between 2-6" dia.
What are you doing with the piping after it’s beveled? If you are welding them togeather or to a flange or whatever grinding a bevel would be just fine since it will be welded over anyway.
It only takes about an hour or two per pipe and makes my arms hurt like a biatch.
:\
WTF kind of grinder is taking that long? We hand bevel many of our pipes at work and it only takes a few minutes…
Whhaaaaaaaaaatttttttt? lol.
What kind of wheel are you using?
I’m usually just using some Makita angle grinder, with… some basic metal grinding wheel.
Bro a $10 grider from harbour freight and a good METAL grinding disk will bevel a pipe in minutes if used propperly. i used to pipe fit at work and thats all we used. Fast cheap and easy.
Yeah, I was trying to figure out what a good metal grinding disk would be 
Will the ones from harbor freight work as well?
They work just fine. dont really last that long but for what you are doing they should be fine. Just buy a few of them.
mmmhmmm.
I guess I’ll run down there tomorrow morning then and give it a shot.
thanks.
use a vice if you have one. It will make it much easier than wrestling with the pipe on the floor.
Yeah, that’s how I did it before, except with a junky vice.
I’ll use my dad’s this time around ;D
