- Tube and Pipe Fabrication
- Article
The rotary cutting process rotates a tube or pipe and cuts it with a rotating blade. The blades are beveled to various angles and produce a chamfered end on the workpiece. Selecting the right bevel angle is the key in getting an optimal combination of end finish and production rate. Proper alignment and clearance, the use of a lubricant, frequent inspections, and proper sharpening are the keys to long blade life.
