Cold Cutting / Beveling
Buckhorn specializes in cold cut/beveling pipe, which seizes many benefits over conventional on-site machining.
Cold cutting produces no spark or flame to ignite combustible gasses and also can operate with less than 6 inches of radial clearance. The equipment is pneumatically operated and controlled with a remote to provide safety for operators. Exposure to internal contents are also greatly reduced due to the tool only piercing pipe with the last few passes of the tool. The tool is mounted to the outside of the pipe and is a half split frame for easy installation. Cold cutting is ideal for pipe separation and weld prepping.
