Pipe Size Range: is based on ANSI pipe dimensions.

Machine Weight: is the lifting weight of the machine which includes the basic machine with standard tool modules.

Rotating Parts Diameter: is the dimension across the face the machine, including its moving parts (inner ring and standard tool modules) when the machine is set up for the maximum pipe size for the specific model. The rotating parts diameter becomes less when tool modules are positioned inward to reach smaller pipes.Custom configurations are available. Call your Tri Tool Sales Representative for assistance in determining which equipment and accessories are right for your requirements.

SB Series Tools Models
601SBM through 612SB
Small In-Line Severing and Beveling Lathes

click for bigger image

• 1" to 12" SB Lathes
• Sever and bevel simultaneously
• Internal counterbore machining
• Adjustable O.D. mounting system
• Cold cutting-No flames or Heat Affected Zones
• Enclosed drive gears for safety and ease of maintenance
• Multi-positionable motor mount
• Extended capabilities with additional machining accessories

The Small SB Clamshells are utilized in a wide variety of roles from tube and pipe production to maintenance in power and processing plants. The models in this group cut from 1/4" through 12" tube and pipe. These lathes may be equipped with self-centering mounting pads for quick, easy mounting, or equipped with adjustable mounting pads for out-of-round pipe or precise centering. Star wheels on the tool modules provide incremental tool bit feed for controlled cut depth. All small SB clamshells (except the 602TSB) offer machining accessories for socket weld removal and counterboring.

Each clamshell within the small SB group provides specific features and benefits. Models 601SBM and the 602.5SBM offer tool modules that require minimal axial (along the pipe) or radial (around the pipe) clearance. The Model 602TSB is designed for performing weld cut-outs on boiler tubes and offers tool modules requiring the lowest radial clearance of any clamshell. Models 604SB-612SB offer tool module options for a broad range of pipe sizes. The small SB group may be driven by different power sources to match any work requirement. Their ease of use and dependability has made them the favorite of plant maintenance, welding, and production personnel throughout the world.





Models 616SB through 648SB
Large Heavy Wall Severing and Beveling Lathes

click for bigger image

• 16" to 48" SB Lathes
• Simultaneously sever and bevel heavy-wall pipe
• Dual hydraulic or pneumatic drives
• Adjustable O.D. mounting system featuring locator pads & jackscrews for additional stability
• Excellent for working in tight spaces with little clearance
• Cold cutting - No flames or Heat Affected Zones
• Extensible capabilities with additional machining accessories

The large SB Lathes offer the precision of the small SB's, with the power to cut large, heavy-wall pipe in the most demanding applications. Models 616SB-648SB are designed for heavy-wall severing and beveling of pipe from 12" through 48", and offer tool modules and accessories for a wide range of cutting operations from basic severing and beveling up to complex, heavy-wall, single-point machining. The large SB clamshells produce otherwise unattainable levels of accuracy and control, critical to pipe welding operations in heavy industry and power production. Because of the clamshell's power and superior stability, many industries depend on this machine for new construction, in-place maintenance, component replacement, decommissioning and production.





RBL Series Tools
Lighter Weight, Rapid Severing and Beveling

click for bigger image

• 14" to 60" RBL Lathes
• Low friction field adjustable bearing system
• Sever and bevel simultaneously
• Requires low input horsepower
• Lightweight, easy to handle and set-up
• Worm drive tool modules reduce vibration and extend tool bit life
• Adjustable O.D. mounting system
• Cold cutting - No heat affected zones
• Modular design to enhance interchangeability of parts
• Extended reach tool modules for deep severs

The new 600 RBL series split frame lathes provide the highest degree of portability for applications where lighter weight is an important advantage. The RBL clamshells are designed to sever and bevel 7" through 60" in-line tube and pipe. These clamshells feature precise, lightweight vee-track roller bearings which produce low drag, minimize weight, and maximize portability. As with the venerable SB series, set-up and operation of the RBL clamshell is simple and straightforward. The RBL features adjustable bearings and tool slides to ensure long and dependable operation. Simultaneous sever and bevel operations are limited only by wall thickness. Tri Tool provides excellent matching of equipment to the particular work being performed. As always, a Tri Tool representative can assist you in determining the proper equipment for our work requirements.





SBCM Series Tools
601SBCM (1/8" to 1") • 602SBCM (1" to 2") • 603SBCM (1.5" to 3")

click for bigger image

• Simple, precise in-line cutting
• Sever and prep in one step
• Compact design - Perfect for low-clearance operating spaces
• Collet mounting - Secure and won't deform thin wall pipe and tube
• Flexible drive shaft - Bayonet mount
• The perfect solution for field tie-ins

The Heavy Duty SBCM Series of low profile clamshells are split-frame lathes that produce rapid, reliable severing and beveling of in-line tube and pipe. Smaller lathes have the ability to split in two for mounting on either side of in-line 1/8" pipe to 3" tube in order to perform precision severing and/or beveling. SBCM Series machines offer secure collet type clamping that not only provides self-centering, but also prevents distortion or damage from clamping forces with full support on Schedule 5-10 pipe or tube. SBCM's can be configured for cleanroom use (No Lead) and are protected by a tough Nickel plating that makes them easy to clean and decontaminate. SBCM's require short perch length for operation and are sized to cover a wide range of cutting applications. Bits can be specified to provide optimal cutting results on specific materials.
