Trav-L-Cutter

When E.H. Wachs^® is mentioned, the product that often comes to mind is our famous Trav-L-Cutter. Secured to the pipe by a special tensioning/drive chain, the Trav-L-Cutter drives itself around the pipe as it simultaneously cuts and bevels, providing a machined surface ready for welding. It's designed for severing and beveling all common pipe materials, wall thicknesses and sizes from 6” O.D. (DN150) on up.

The Trav-L-Cutter^® special milling blades, with standard weld bevel capabilities of 30° & 37.5°, remove .188” (4.8mm) of metal during operation, leaving the pipe ends with a fine milled finish and no heat affected zone (HAZ). Our best selling Model E uses a powerful pneumatic drive motor, and can be powered by most industrial air compressors. The Model HE utilizes a powerful, sealed closed loop hydraulic drive system, ideally suited for hostile environments or for use underwater.
