Overview

000° · Start of the cut

Free-Hand Pipe Cuts Wander. This Doesn’t.

Cutting a round pipe with a hand torch means walking the flame around a curve by eye. The edge wanders, the bevel changes as your wrist tires, and the joint then needs grinding before it can be fitted up.

The TUBOCUT-HG takes the torch out of your hand. A chain holds the machine tight on the pipe, four wheels ride the surface, and a worm-gear hand wheel moves it around at a steady pace while the torch holds its height and angle. You get a square cut or a weld-ready bevel — on the shop floor or out on the line, where there is no power.

Six Parts That Do the Steering for You

TUBOCUT-HG front view showing the cutting torch, hand wheel, wheels and chain

Front view: torch, hand wheel, wheels and chain
01
Hand wheel & worm gear
Turn it clockwise to move forward, anticlockwise to move back. The worm gear keeps travel slow and even.
02
Sprocket & chain
The sprocket climbs a detachable square-link chain wrapped around the pipe.
03
Spring-loaded clutch
Press the spring to tension the chain so the machine sits tight on the pipe.
04
Four running wheels
Wheels on bearing axles ride the pipe surface and carry the machine round.
05
Rack & pinion torch holder
Move the torch across, up and down to set its position and height.
06
Bevel dial on the torch clamp
Tilt the torch from 0 to 45°; the angle can be adjusted during cutting.

Five Steps From Bare Pipe to a Finished Ring

PIPEchain wrapped aroundhand wheelclockwise = forward
1
Place it on the pipe
Sit the machine on the pipe at the cut line, within the torch’s cross-travel range.
2
Tension the chain
Wrap the chain round the pipe, press the spring and hook it so the machine is held tight.
3
Light and set the flame
Light the nozzle and regulate the preheat flame for the wall thickness.
4
Set the torch
Move the torch to position and height, and set the bevel angle on the dial.
5
Cut and turn
Open the cutting oxygen and turn the hand wheel at the same time — at an even pace, all the way round.
Steady hand, clean edge: the worm gear lets you hold an even travel speed, so the kerf stays uniform from start to finish.
135° · Chain length

How Many Chain Links for Your Pipe?

The chain is made of detachable square links, so you set its length to the pipe. The rule is simple:

Links needed
pipe OD in cm + 12
Example: a Ø299 mm pipe is about 30 cm → 30 + 12 = 42 links.
✓75 links come with the machine — enough for pipes up to about Ø600 mm
✓Larger pipes: add chain links to suit the diameter
✓Minimum pipe size: Ø100 mm

Question & Answers

360° · FAQ

Manual Pipe Gas Cutting Machine — FAQs

What is a manual pipe gas cutting machine?
A portable carriage that clamps onto a pipe with a chain and carries an oxy-fuel torch around it as you turn a hand wheel. It gives a cleaner, more even circular cut and bevel than a free-hand torch. The CRUXWELD TUBOCUT-HG is this type of machine.
Does the TUBOCUT-HG need electricity?
No. The drive is a manual hand wheel with a worm gear, and cutting is oxy-fuel, so it works on sites with no power supply.
What pipe sizes can it cut?
Pipes from Ø100 mm upward. The 75-link chain supplied covers pipes up to about Ø600 mm; add chain links for larger diameters. Links needed = pipe OD in cm + 12.
What wall thickness can it cut?
5 to 50 mm, using G02 nozzles No. 1 (5–15 mm), No. 2 (15–30 mm) and No. 3 (30–50 mm).
Can it cut a bevel for welding?
Yes. Set the torch from 0 to 45° on the dial at the torch clamp for a square cut or a weld-ready bevel. The angle can also be adjusted during cutting.
Which gases does it use?
Oxygen with acetylene or propane. Oxygen pressure is 0.30–0.50 MPa depending on the nozzle.
What comes with the machine?
The machine body, cutting torch, G02 nozzles No. 1–3, a 75-link chain, two wheels, six M5 screws, a tool box and an inspection certificate. Gas cylinders, regulators and hoses are not included.
How do I get the TUBOCUT-HG price and delivery time?
Request a quote on this page or message +91 88008 82983 on WhatsApp with your pipe sizes and wall thickness. You will receive a GST quotation with delivery time, usually the same working day.
