Bevel / Chamfer Overview

Trade Name:
Seco Beveller

Generic Description:
Rotary action, precision Beveller. (Bevel mill). Unique heavy duty, hand held pneumatic model – designed and made by Seco in the UK.

Power:
Pneumatic – Very strong and reliable motor. It should be noted that 80 CFM (2,265 litres per minute) at 80 P.S.I is required to operate the Seco Beveller. Speed governors fitted to the powerful motor.

Applications:
Chamfering metal plates, bars, strips, blocks and large tubes. It is not possible to bevel stainless steel.

Benefits:
Fast smooth and very economical. The Seco Beveller bevels using a rotary action, producing an accurate machine finish, unlike the “nibbling” action employed with most other bevellers. Therefore the Seco Beveller generates a constantly smooth motion with relatively no vibration. The cut can be precisely varied in angle and width.

Information:
The Seco Bevellers are very popular with fabricators, shipyards and material suppliers. The Bevellers are most commonly used for preparing plates for fillet welding. Up to 8 times quicker than conventional grinding. All models use standard carbide inserts.


Photo does not show helix rollers, which are fitted as standard to assist operation.

Operator comforts:
Beautifully balanced, comfortable handgrips, no dust. Not heavy – only 12.65Kg

Low motor noise levels:
Continuously assured by quick change silencing material.

Advantages over traditional methods
The smooth rotary motion of the Beveller offers many advantages over other methods. The Seco Beveller is considerably more accurate than if you were to grind the metal/weld with a disk grinder. It gives a considerably better finish then if you were to use the traditional bevelling method. (Which also generate high vibrations causing operator discomfort).

Vibration:
Rotary action produces low levels of vibration.

Less than 2.5m/s² r.m.s

Capability:

Width of cut - from 0mm to 20mm wide.

Adjustable width of cut is dependent on material being cut.


Angle of cut – from 15° to 75°.

Choose position of plates A and B to change the angle of the cut.

To achieve angles between 45° and 75° transfer rollers to alternative guide plate B.
