Bevelling - RIDGID B-500 Bedienungsanleitung

Model B-500 Transportable Pipe Beveller
Figure 5 – Acceptable ( ) and Unacceptable (
entations
For pipe, the pipe end must be square within 0.062"
(1.6 mm), see Figure 6. The beveller follows the cut on
the end of the pipe and does not square the end of
the pipe. For plate, the edge to be bevelled must be
straight, without curves. The bevelled edge will be no
straighter than the initial cut. Bevelling non-square
edges could cause tracking issues and can affect
the bevel quality.
Figure 6 – 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 1 / " (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 bev-
eller to mount and drive on. Do not use on curved
material, such as elbows or other fittings. When used
on flat plate, the beveller cannot be used within 6 inch-

es of the end of the edge. Both guide rollers must con-
tact the plate to hold the beveller in place (See Figure
9A).
To prevent ferrous contamination of stainless
NOTI E
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.
4. Make sure that the work piece to be bevelled is solid-
ly 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.
5. If bevelling in place, make sure that there is suffi-
cient room for the beveller to fit in place and rotate
around pipe.
6. Make sure all equipment has been properly inspected.
7 . Keep bystanders clear of work area, set up guards or
barricades to create a minimum of 6 feet (2 m) of
clear ance around the pipe and beveller. This helps to
prevent bystanders from being struck by chips during
use.

Bevelling

Due to differing material characteristics, a test bevel should
always be performed before the first bevel of the day or
when changing material type, material thickness, bevel
angle or land width.
A label is provided on the beveller motor with basic oper-
ation information. The label steps follow the steps of this
section. This label is not a substitute for operator's manu-
al which contains all of the information for proper use.

1. Confirm that the gib plate lock screw is loose.
2. Turn the cutter feed screw counter clockwise to fully
retract the cutter head (away from the drive roll).
