THE PIPEMASTER
General Information:
Unit consists of a cutting head with internal gears which operate the drive wheels and blade shaft. Cutting blades (except for No. 4616) must be cooled with water during cutting and are fully enclosed for safety. The cutter is held onto the pipe by a wide roller chain which is tensioned with a threaded take-up mechanism. A chart is included which tells the operator how much chain is required for various sizes of pipe. The unit has a hydraulic motor which requires an external hydraulic power source.
