Fixed Workpiece/Moving Beveller Set-Up; Fixed Beveller/Rotating Pipe Set-Up - RIDGID B-500 Manual De Instrucciones

Model B-500 Transportable Pipe Beveller
Figure 5 – Pipe Squareness Requirements
The beveller will work on displacement cut (cutting wheel),
saw cut or torch cut edges. Prior to bevelling, remove
torch cutting slag build up, pipe weld seams over
(0.8 mm) high, large burrs and other debris on both sides
of the edge to be bevelled within 3" (75 mm) of the edge.
This allows the beveller to grip and drive on the material. It
may be necessary to remove oil or other coatings on the
material to be bevelled to ensure beveller tracking.
There must be at least 3" of unobstructed straight pipe or
flat plate from the edge to be bevelled for the beveller to
mount and drive on. Do not use on curved material, such
as elbows or other fittings.
NOTI E To prevent ferrous contamination of stainless
steel, make sure that the drive and guide rolls are clean
and debris free. Thoroughly clean with a stainless steel
brush. Change inserts – use dedicated inserts for stainless
steel. Best practice is to dedicate a beveller for stainless
steel.
NOTI E
Do not use the beveller on material that is
connected to a welder. If the beveller is connected to a
workpiece during welding processes, it can damage the
beveller circuitry.

Fixed Workpiece/Moving Beveller Set-up

The beveller is designed for use on horizontal pipe and
plate. It may also be used for pipe ends above horizontal.
See Figure 6 for examples. Use in other orientations can
allow the beveller and chips to fall on the operator, and is
not allowed.

Make sure that the work piece to be bevelled is solidly
mounted and stable. Work piece and support must be able
to withstand the weight of the beveller and the force and
torque required for bevelling without moving or turning.
When using a pipe vise, make sure that it is properly
sized and secured to prevent tipping during use. For
longer lengths of pipe, use appropriate pipe stands to
support extra length.
When used on flat plate, the beveller cannot be used
with in 6 inches of the end of the edge. Both guide rollers
must contact the plate to hold the beveller in place (See
Figure 16).
If bevelling in place, make sure that there is sufficient
room for the beveller to fit in place and move along work
piece.

Fixed Beveller/Rotating Pipe Set-up

With the Model TBM-36 Beveller Adapter (optional equip-
ment) (See Figure 7) the B-500 Beveller is mounted on a
RIDGID 450 or 460 series TRISTAND chain pipe vise. The
beveller is held stationary in use while the pipe rotates,
increasing convenience and allowing shorter pieces of pipe
to be beveled. This can be used for pipe up to 36" (900
mm) in diameter.
