Magnetic pipe cutting machine · no chain
Set It on the Pipe. It Holds Itself On. It Cuts Square or Bevelled — Outside, Inside or Along the Length.

The CRUXWELD TUBOCUT-MS crawls on double permanent-magnet wheels, front and rear, so there is no chain to wrap and nothing to re-tension. It cuts and bevels steel pipe from 100 mm diameter upwards and 5 to 100 mm wall with an oxy-fuel or plasma torch, at 50–1150 mm/min, clockwise or anti-clockwise — and because it rides on magnets it also runs along a pipe, around an end face, or on the inside of large shells.

Overview

01

A Magnetic Pipe Cutting Machine for Cuts a Chain Cannot Reach

A chain-driven cutter is excellent for one job: a circumferential cut around the outside of a pipe. A magnetic pipe cutting machine does that job too — and then keeps going. Because the TUBOCUT-MS grips the steel with permanent magnets rather than a chain, it can travel lengthwise along a pipe for a parallel cut, work around an end face, run on the inside of a large-diameter shell, and cut circles and openings in the pipe wall.

Set-up takes seconds: place the machine on the pipe, the magnets take hold, align the torch, set the speed on the dial and start. At 20 kg it is a one-person machine, and its 220/110 V drive runs from a site generator.

No chain, no tensioning
Double permanent-magnet drive, front and rear, keeps the machine stable and tracking true.
Four kinds of cut
Circumferential, parallel (along the pipe), end-face and circular cut-outs — square or bevelled up to 45°.
Oxy-fuel or plasma
Injector torch for 5–100 mm wall; plasma torch for stainless and thin wall.
Both directions
Clockwise or anti-clockwise travel, so the operator can always work from the comfortable side.
02

How a Magnetic Cutter Holds the Line

The drive unit carries magnet wheels at the front and rear. Each wheel is a permanent magnet, so the holding force is there the moment the machine touches steel — no power is needed to hold on, and a power cut does not drop the machine. The 70 W motor, fed by a 158 W inverter with SCR speed control, turns the wheels at a constant speed between 50 and 1150 mm/min; the torch, set square or at the chosen bevel angle, follows at exactly that speed, which is what keeps the kerf uniform and the edge clean.

1
Place
Set the machine on the pipe; the magnet wheels grip. For inside cuts, place it on the inner wall of the shell.
2
Align
Fit the oxy-fuel or plasma torch, set square or bevel up to 45°, and adjust nozzle distance.
3
Set speed
Dial in 50–1150 mm/min for the wall thickness and process; choose clockwise or anti-clockwise.
4
Cut
Pre-heat, start cutting, switch on the drive. Lift off when the cut is complete and move to the next pipe.

Why Fabricators Choose the TUBOCUT-MS

“Wrapping a chain on every pipe wastes time.”
Magnets hold instantly. Set-up is placing the machine, not dressing it.
“I need to cut along the pipe, not just around it.”
Lengthwise, end-face and inside cuts are all possible on magnet wheels.
“Hand bevels never pass inspection.”
A constant-speed, fixed-angle torch gives a uniform bevel up to 45° in a single pass.
“Site power is unreliable.”
158 W inverter-fed drive on 220 V or 110 V runs from any small generator; the magnets need no power at all.

Question & Answers

01

Magnetic Pipe Cutting Machine — Frequently Asked Questions

How is a magnetic pipe cutting machine different from a chain-driven one?
A chain cutter is tied to one circumferential path around the outside of the pipe. The TUBOCUT-MS holds on with permanent-magnet wheels, so besides circumferential cuts it can run lengthwise along the pipe, around an end face, on the inside of a large shell and cut circular openings — with no chain to fit or tension.
What pipe sizes and wall thickness can it cut?
Steel pipe from 100 mm diameter upwards, with wall thickness from 5 mm to 100 mm using the oxy-fuel torch. With a plasma torch mounted, thickness depends on the plasma cutter’s rating.
Can it cut a bevel?
Yes. The torch holder tilts to any angle up to 45° for single-V weld preparation in the same pass as the cut.
Will the magnets hold on a curved pipe?
Yes. The machine has permanent-magnet wheels at both front and rear, which keep it stable on curved and flat steel. Permanent magnets need no power, so a supply interruption does not release the machine.
Does it work with plasma as well as oxy-fuel?
Yes. The TUBOCUT-MS is designed for both; the plasma torch is mounted in place of the gas torch.
What power supply does it need?
220 V or 110 V, 50/60 Hz, for the 158 W inverter that feeds the 70 W drive motor — a small site generator is sufficient. The cutting energy comes from the gas or plasma supply.
Can it cut on the inside of a pipe or shell?
Yes, provided the diameter is large enough for the machine (350 × 310 × 280 mm) to sit on the inner wall. This is a common use on vessels and penstocks.
How do I get the price and delivery time?
Request a quote on this page or message +91 88008 82983 on WhatsApp with your pipe diameters, wall thickness and process (gas or plasma). You will receive a GST quotation with delivery time, usually the same working day.
