Complex Jobs Demand Custom Cuts

There’s no blueprint for the conditions you face in the field. Whether you're in a refinery, fabrication yard, or nuclear facility, the path to progress isn’t always straight, and neither is the pipe. Today’s machining leaders don’t have the luxury of one-size-fits-all solutions. They need cutting systems that adapt to compound geometries, unconventional materials, limited access, and compressed timelines. At Tri Tool, we don’t just help you cut, we help you cut differently.

Our portable pipe cutting tools are designed for the job sites that never look like the brochure. Where pipe runs don’t align, conditions fluctuate, and crews need to move quickly without giving up precision.

When Traditional Tools Hold You Back

Off-the-shelf cutting equipment can’t keep up with the challenges you face. And when tool limitations force you to change your workflow, safety, precision, and schedule all suffer.

Field teams have to navigate:

• Inaccessible or irregular pipe runs

• High-alloy materials requiring specialized tooling

• Jobs that demand squareness, concentricity, and minimal rework

• Environments where downtime and errors carry high costs
   

That’s why Tri Tool gives you the flexibility to adapt because cutting should fit the job, not the other way around.

Portable Solutions That Move With You

Our machines are designed for crews on the move, delivering shop-level precision in field-ready packages.

• Split-frame Clamshell Lathes: Clamp around in-place pipe to deliver consistent, vibration-free cuts with zero heat-affected zones

• Orbital Pipe Cutters: Compact and ideal for tight-access spaces or remote areas

• Facing Machines: Ensure clean, square surfaces ready for welding or flange mating

• Trepan Machines: Built to remove heavy-wall materials with custom feeds and cutter geometries

With modular systems and quick-change tool heads, our equipment allows you to scale up, or slim down, based on the unique geometry of each job.

Trusted by Teams Who Work in the World’s Toughest Places

Tri Tool’s cutting systems are used everywhere from offshore platforms to power plants, delivering results that field teams can count on.

In one high-radiation reactor environment, our custom-engineered cutting tools helped Orano USA sever jet pump diffusers underwater with remote-controlled precision—lowered over 70 feet into the reactor vessel and executed without safety incidents. The job finished ahead of schedule, proving that with the right tools, no access point is too remote.

Why Tri Tool Customers Cut Differently

âœ" Reduce operator fatigue with tool-free setup and ergonomic frames
âœ" Eliminate rework with built-in squareness and concentricity controls
âœ" Customize cutter heads to match your bevel, wall thickness, or exotic alloy
âœ" Carry your machining capabilities wherever your crews are working

The result? You don’t just complete the cut, you move the project forward.

It’s Time to Cut on Your Terms

At Tri Tool, we don’t believe in forcing your team to adapt to outdated tools. We believe in building tools that adapt to your environment, your specs, and your mission. Whether you're cutting for fit-up, prepping for weld, or performing a high-stakes tie-in, you deserve equipment that matches your ambition.
