Here is a professional guide about how to use a manual feed plate beveller aka plate bevelling machine and it’s setting up, tool change, cleaning, and maintenance.

This is a step by step complete guide on how to use plate beveling machines. In brief, this article covers the following points,

• Components of the SKF 25 plate beveling machine

• Safety measure before setting up the plate beveller

• Checking the workpiece

• Setting the milling head of the plate beveller

• Setting the chamfer width plate beveller

• Mounting the rollers of the plate beveller

• Milling with the plate beveller

• Using the plate beveller

• Tool change of the bevelling machine

• Cleaning of the bevelling machine

• Maintainance of the bevelling machine

Safety measure before setting up the plate beveller

The beveling machine may only be operated in a horizontal position. Secure the workpiece.

Checking the properties of the workpiece. 

The surface of the workpiece must meet the following require- ments. The surface must be smooth and may not have any burn points, slag, welding joints or similar.  Before beginning with milling, remove surface unevenness. 

Setting the milling head

 Place the machine onto the upper side (power connecting cable ).  Release the locking mechanism (2) on both sides of the machine. Set the desired milling angle. The milling angle can be viewed on the scale (1). Tighten the locking mechanism (2) on both sides of the machine.

Setting the chamfer width

Place the machine onto the upper side (power connecting cable ). Release the locking mechanism (1). Set the desired chamfer angle by turning the adjusting screw (3). The chamfer width can be viewed on the scale (2). Tighten the locking mechanism (1).

Mounting the guide roller for milling plates

Mount the plate (3) according to the illustration. Fix the guide rollers (2) in the borehole (1) with the washer and nut.

What is Pipe Beveling? How to Bevel a Pipe?

Pipe beveling is an angle forming between the edge of the end of a pipe or tube. When the pipe end is formed with a certain degree of an angle, it is called a bevel end or beveled end. Pipe beveling is an essential step in the welding preparation process of pipe joining. The quality of the beveled pipe directly affects the quality of the welding, so that proper pipe preparation ensures the best possible weld joint. Other than welding, beveling can also be used for deburring the cut pipe ends for aesthetic and safety reasons.
