cutting & beveling E.H. Wachs offers one of the largest lineups of pipe cold cutting and beveling equipment offered anywhere in the world. Industrial piping not joined by flanges typically requires a bevel prior to being welded. This process of collectively cutting and beveling pipe is called “weld prep”. Our cold cutting weld prep eliminates the flame used in torch cutting, an obvious safety benefit, and creates a precision machined bevel ready for welding. A significant advantage of the machining or cold cutting process over thermal is preventing the creation of a HAZ, or Heat Affected Zone....
