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. ---

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… ---

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. ---

use a vice if you have one. It will make it much easier than wrestling with the pipe on the floor. ---
